The Regenerative Garden: 80 Practical Projects for Creating a Self-sustaining Garden Ecosystem Paperback – March 15, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
Discover how to work with nature, instead of against it, by employing permaculture techniques to create a garden that is not just more beautiful and productive, but also more resilient.
While the word permaculture might sound intimidating, the principals behind it are not. The main goal of permaculture is to turn your space into a functioning ecosystem that’s less reliant on external resources and better able to sustain itself through many seasons of growth and change as it resists pests, diseases, and climate extremes. Whatever the size of your space, from a tiny patio garden to a big backyard, and whether you grow food, flowers, shrubs, trees, or a combination of all, The Regenerative Garden is here to help you become a better, more eco-conscious gardener.
Through 80 DIY projects, author Stephanie Rose of the popular website Garden Therapy introduces you to basic backyard permaculture concepts in an easy-to-follow, logical way. Each of the six chapters represents a living element of the garden, capable of playing a valuable role in its constant regeneration, including soil, water, plants, climate, ethics, and community. As you check these projects off your to-do list, you’ll find you’ve reduced your long-term work load, conserved water and other resources, turned your yard into a habitat for wildlife, and learned to grow perennial foods in creative ways.
The 80 featured projects include step-by-step instructions on how to:
- Employ intensive planting to reduce weeding and watering chores
- Use living mulches to amend the soil
- Build self-watering planters and wicking beds to reduce water use
- Install a rain garden to catch runoff
- Plant a wildlife hedge to support creatures and create a windbreak and noise buffer
- Compost projects and systems to repurpose waste on-site
- Make a butterfly migration station to support pollinators of all sorts
A healthy, organic, regenerative garden is a perfect example of a self-sustaining ecosystem; everything works in tandem, is intricately connected, and comes full circle to create its own never-ending cycle of life.

Review
“Stephanie takes a thoughtful and practical approach to presenting the concepts and principles behind regenerative gardening in a down to earth and easy to understand manner. This makes the DIY projects and methods accessible to all gardeners. She encourages you to progress, improve, and learn but not worry about being perfect in your garden. A mindset I share deeply. She takes you from soil, to sharing your gardening with your surrounding community, and all the steps in between. I’ll be adding some of her DIY projects to my gardens. The beauty of this book is that you’ll create a garden that, with time, becomes better at taking care of itself.”―Gary Pilarchik, author of The Modern Homestead Garden, founder of The Rusted Garden
“Stephanie Rose is a master weaver, connecting ourselves back into a relationship with our living world. She is one of the most committed spirits I have ever met, and The Regenerative Garden expresses her love and understanding of Nature. This book invites us to re-create ancient systems and proposes including ourselves back into the regenerative process of Mother Earth, to consider the plants as our teachers, and consequently emulate nature in our daily lives. It is an invitation to collaborate, discover our compassion, and to be generous to all that exists. We have a responsibility to practice the exchange of reciprocity and to respect our living world. My deep respect to those who dare to follow these instructions. Chi-miigwech / thank you, Stephanie, for reweaving us back to the right relationship and witness what lives with us. Deep gratitude for your commitment to lead the way.”―Lori Snyder, Métis Herbalist and educator of wild, edible, & medicinal plants at Earth Awareness Rea
“The Regenerative Garden is a fresh and approachable look at permaculture and will show you how to create a beautiful garden while embracing elements of organic principles, resourceful use of materials, and a good dash of creativity.”―Tanya Anderson, author of A Woman’s Garden and founder of LovelyGreens.com
"Within each chapter are many projects that you can readily accomplish at reasonable cost and time. In fact, you might scratch your head and think….why haven’t I done that. Do not scold yourself because with this book in hand, you can do it! Follow these permaculture suggestions and you will become a better informed and more eco-conscious gardener."―George Graine, The Graine Thumb
"This is a must-need book in your gardening library."―Maria Colletti, author of Terrariums: Gardens Under Glass, Shepherd.com
"Conservation of materials, eliminating waste and a concern for introducing children to the joys of the garden are present alongside useful tips. Anyone who yearns for planting season will appreciate this book."―Connecticut Horticultural Society

- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2024This book is a treasure trove of information on how to naturally enrich your soil and boost plant health. The detailed advice and practical tips have transformed my gardening approach. Highly recommended for anyone into sustainable growing.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2024Great Book for beginners!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2024I couldn't do all the projects or use all the information in this book but it was worth the purchase.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2024The protective cover is definitely a bonus.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2024What a treasury of down to earth (pun intended!) advice and stories - novel and age old ideas, very doable in a home garden!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2023Not only loaded with practical ideas for a self-sustaining garden, but tons of pictures to go along with the ideas. I'm a 30 year gardener and I could hardly put the book down. I loved it so much I bought a copy for my son who bought his home and built his first garden three years ago. It's a great gift idea for any gardener in your life.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2024I was hoping this this provided information for balancing a ecosystem within our 1 acre yard. Our new property is mostly grass and we are trying to regenerate it to a more natural system from its current state. I didn't find a lot of information that was helpful towards this goal. The points to gain from this book are cultivation of vegetable and flower gardens. I would say it approaches it from an intermediate level and has a number of helpful hints to those that are newer to gardening.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2024I particularly liked the part about what weeds are doing in our soil to help understand how to improve it.
I also enjoyed learning more about cover crops.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great images and information
This is a great book, I am very happy I used the last of my cash to buy this! I have so many books but this one is exactly what I been wanting and needing and looking for. Thank you!
It’s important to us (me and my family) that we take care of the land we live on and where we live our water goes back into the ground. Creating an ecosystem on our land out here by lake means we care about our home and planet and ecosystem we occupy. This book helps us reach a better garden for not just us, but our home too.
