Sense-Making in a Changing World Backyard Forest Garden with Pippa Chapman and Morag Gamble
The Sense-Making in a Changing World podcast, hosted by Morag Gamble is an initiative of the Permaculture Education Institute. We teach permaculture teachers around the world, and host global permaculture conversations and learning communities. Our Permaculture Life is our permaculture gardening Youtube channel with hundreds of helpful videos.
I am joined here by the wonderful Pippa Chapman - author, permaculture designer, forest gardener and mother - based in Yorkshire, who has been gardening for 30 years. In 2007 she left her job as Head Gardener on a private estate, to take a year-long practical apprenticeship at RHS Harlow Carr and then she discovered permaculture and everything changed!
In her (first) book, The Plant Lover’s Backyard Forest Gardenpublished by Permanent Publications, Pippa explores how to grow your own beautiful multilayered food forest in your own backyard.
Pippa explains how to create multiple layers on a small-scale to maximise your growing area, using polycultures and guilds for healthy, low-maintenance food. She shares how to use perennials for structure and for year-round food, and how to incorporate flowers for beauty, wildlife and for the kitchen.
She was introduced to forest gardening and permaculture and in 2010 set up a sustainable gardening business with her husband - Those Plant People.
She grows a wide variety of fruits, flowers, herbs and annual and perennial vegetables in her small backyard, creating a beautiful, edible and wildlife friendly space.
You can find her on instagram and youtube too.

I am a possibilitarian and I believe HumanKINDness.
In this podcast my guests and I explore How are we to live? Really live, as nature ourselves, tending the conditions where life can thrive. We ask How do we become the kind of humans this moment is asking us to be?
This podcast is one of my acts of myceliation. Each conversation is a thread in a vast network of people speaking up for life with love and care.
This podcast beams out from my hand-built solar-powered studio in the midst of a permaculture food forest in a permaculture ecovillage on Gubbi Gubbi country.
If this episode lights something in you, pass it to one person who needs it. That is how myceliation works.
