Patrick Whitefield

Patrick was one of the leading and pioneering permaculture teachers in Britain, and indeed in Europe. In his legacy of books and films he combined a deep knowledge of the subject with an inspiring and professional style. He’s written three books on permaculture: Permaculture in a NutshellHow to Make a Forest Garden and The Earth Care Manual. His latest book is How To Read The Landscape (an abridged and edited version of his previous book The Living Landscape, how to read it and understand it), was a subject especially close to his heart. He also practiced for many years as a design consultant.
