Reading List

This is a list of books that we recommend to students who complete our Permaculture courses.

Wherever possible we provide a link directly to the author/publishers website and we suggest that if possible you purchase the book from them directly. This ensures that the author of the book receives the maximum income and that the distance the book is shipped is minimised.

Where possible we also provide a link to the book on Amazon.com, this provides extra information about the book, including professional reviews, reader feedback and occasionally the possibility to take a look inside the book. Milkwood Permaculture receives a small commission if you purchase the book from Amazon.com after following a link from our site.
