Is your garden in serious need of TLC, but you don’t want to rely on chemicals?
Chemicals in fertilizers and pesticides can harm your health and the environment—yet their use is increasing. But there’s a better way.
Nature thrives without synthetic chemicals. Forests flourish, plants grow in harmony, and ecosystems sustain themselves effortlessly. By mimicking nature in your backyard, you can create a self-sustaining, eco-friendly garden that gives back to the earth.
Sustainable gardening may seem like extra work, but in the long run, it saves time and effort. Healthy soil, efficient water use, and natural plant partnerships make your garden more resilient and productive.
You don’t need a green thumb or a big budget—just the right knowledge. This 3-book bundle equips you with everything you need, including permaculture principles, seed-saving techniques, and companion planting wisdom.
In this comprehensive guide, you’ll discover:
- The 12 principles of permaculture and 9 steps to transform your garden into a self-sustaining ecosystem
- How to test and enrich your soil, harvest rainwater, and reduce water consumption
- Design tips to create a garden that’s both beautiful and practical
- Seed-saving essentials—why it matters, how to store seeds, and how to build a seed bank
- The best companion planting strategies to maximize growth, deter pests, and increase yield
Gardening for self-sufficiency can feel overwhelming—but every challenge is an opportunity to learn. Nature provides the answers—you just need to know how to listen.

Is bourbon the quintessential American liquor? Bourbon is not just alcohol - the amber-colored drink is deeply ingrained in American culture and tangled in American history. From the early days of raw corn liquor to the myriad distilleries that have proliferated around the country today, bourbon is a symbol of the United States. This course traces bourbon's entire history, from the 1700s, with Irish, Scottish, and French settlers setting up stills and making distilled spirits in the New World, through today's booming resurgence.

Story
We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life, supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. Just as the search for nutmeg and the humble peppercorn drove the Age of Discovery, so did coffee beans help fuel the Enlightenment and cottonseed help spark the Industrial Revolution. And from the fall of Rome to the Arab Spring, the fate of nations continues to hinge on the seeds of a Middle Eastern grass known as wheat.

Perfect for Beginners Like Me!
Growing my own food was something I wanted to do but I lacked the initial knowledge to begin. This book made everything feel doable! The guide presents clear steps that simplify the process without overwhelming the reader. The advice on selecting appropriate plants and maintaining their health organically was exactly what I enjoyed the most. The information about saving seeds changed how I viewed gardening since I never realized how much I had been overlooking. For beginners who want to start gardening without complex instructions, this guide proves to be excellent. My plants are flourishing beautifully which makes me incredibly joyful.

Great for beginners wanting a more natural garden
I’ve been trying to make my garden more sustainable, but it always felt a little overwhelming. This audiobook really helped break things down into easy steps, from improving soil health to saving seeds for next season. I like that it focuses on working with nature instead of against it, which makes gardening feel less complicated.
The tips on companion planting were especially useful—I’ve already made a few changes, and my plants seem to be doing better! Whether you’re just getting started or looking to improve your gardening methods, this has plenty of helpful advice without being too technical.

Backyard Renewal:
I used to rely on chemicals for my garden until I found this audiobook. Its friendly, down-to-earth advice introduced me to permaculture and natural planting methods that really work.

Every Gardener Needs This Collection!
I'll admit I'm not a gardener, but I truly had no idea there was so much involved in planting seeds and growing gardens! I was captivated from the very first chapter of book #1. Since I first heard the term, I have wondered what permaculture is, and now I know! Learning how to create a sustainable garden is important as food prices continue to rise. I was fascinated to learn about how to dry seeds, especially flower seeds. And to think that I can grow almost everything I want or need in a companion garden. I always thought they were just for herbs. This is a long collection, but the narrators did a marvellous job of presenting the information in an interesting fashion. If you want to learn about gardening, this is the product to listen to!

Peaceful and Packed with Garden Tips
I listened to this while pulling weeds in my backyard and it made the time fly by. Both narrators have calm, pleasant voices that match the peaceful vibe of gardening. The info is broken into clear sections, so it never felt overwhelming even though it’s long. I learned new things about seed saving and planning better garden layouts. It reminded me of when I helped my grandma in her garden and asked a million questions. This audiobook felt like getting all her wisdom in one place.
