Had no idea where to start or even much about permaculture, but it was a fascinating listen and one that I could recommend to anyone, regardless of where you live. I thought it was presented well and spoke to someone who had no knowledge of the subject, and the narration was very clean and good.

This audiobook breaks down the permaculture process into simple and realistic steps that make it seem like something that anyone can do to have a self-sufficient landscape.

It shows you how to work with nature rather than against it, giving you practical methods that can be used in nearly any climate and terrain. We are told step by step without being inundated, which is helpful to a beginner. I liked particularly how it is focused on long-term sustainability, not quick fixes. If you're interested in building a more sustainable, efficient environment, this is a great resource.

I thought you needed a bunch of land and money to do permaculture right but this audiobook showed me otherwise. I live on a small suburban lot and there were tons of tips I could use. The composting section alone was worth it. I used scraps I was already throwing away and started a basic system with stuff I had at home. There were also parts about planning for your climate and working with limited space that really clicked. Super useful if you’re starting out and don’t want to feel overwhelmed or broke doing it.

If you’re eco-conscious and ready to make real changes, this book is a must-have on your shelf.

I’ve read a few books on permaculture before, but most were too technical or theoretical for a beginner like me. This one felt way more approachable. It helped me understand how to design a garden that works with nature instead of against it. I’ve already started making small changes in my backyard, like grouping plants by function and thinking about water flow. It’s made a real difference, and I’m excited to keep going. If you want to learn how to be more self-reliant and garden smarter, this is a great place to start.

I really enjoyed The DIY Permaculture Blueprint. I’ve been wanting to get into growing my own food and living more sustainably, but a lot of the stuff out there feels too technical or overwhelming. This audiobook wasn’t like that at all. It explained things in a really simple, clear way that actually made me feel like, “Okay, I can do this.” I liked that it focused on using what you already have and building something that works for your space and lifestyle.

I really liked how this broke down permaculture in a way that didn’t make me feel like I needed a degree in environmental science. The section about creating microclimates was super helpful—we’ve got a weird patch of shade in our yard, and now it’s the perfect little herb corner thanks to some tips in here. My husband got really into the composting bit too (who knew he'd geek out over soil layers?). This helped us both get on the same page about using the space more efficiently and in a way that feels good long-term. It’s made our little garden feel a lot more purposeful.
