Free-Range Chicken Gardens: How to Create a Beautiful, Chicken-Friendly Yard
Goes beyond telling us merely how to raise chickens ... [Jessi] shows how to integrate poultry into the garden.
Toby Hemenway, author of Gaia's Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture
Many gardeners fear chickens will peck away at their landscape, and chicken lovers often shy away from gardening for the same reason. But you can keep chickens and have a beautiful garden, too! Fresh eggs aren't the only benefit — chickens can actually help your garden grow and thrive, even as your garden does the same for your chickens.
In this essential handbook, award-winning garden designer Jessi Bloom covers everything a gardener needs to know, including chicken-keeping basics, simple garden plans to get you started, tips on attractive fencing options, the best plants and plants to avoid, and step-by-step instructions for getting your chicken garden up and running.
For anyone who wants a fabulous garden where colorful chickens happily roam, Free-Range Chicken Gardens is the guide that will bring the dream home to roost.
