Permaculture beckons to us all, and we, in turn, require its wisdom. This ingenious approach to agriculture, horticulture, and land stewardship fosters a symbiotic bond with the natural world. It's a design methodology that embraces, rather than opposes, the untamed elements of nature. In our desperate struggle against climate change, permaculture emerges as a vital ally.
Maya Blackwell, a seasoned permaculture practitioner and accomplished poet, deftly explores the transformative potential of this practice for both humanity and our planet. She traces its lineage from ancient Indigenous wisdom to its contemporary role in urban allotments, whilst illuminating how permaculture principles can nourish our individual and collective well-being.
This tome offers myriad opportunities for introspection, artistic expression, and forging connections. It imparts invaluable lessons derived from permaculture principles, equipping us to cultivate resilience and embrace the enduring process of experimentation, learning from setbacks, and reaping the fruits of our labour.
Whether you're a permaculture novice or a veteran seeking to reconnect with its foundational tenets and rich history, this book provides tools for growth that yield rewards far beyond the confines of the garden. It's an indispensable resource for anyone committed to nurturing a more sustainable and harmonious world.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
