Does anyone know of any good books on growing forest gardens in arid and Mediterranean climates. I have found several for wetter areas but do not know of any that would work well with my local climate due to its lower rain fall and warmer temps.

I dont know of any but native seed have a nice selection of arid cultivar selection. www.nativeseeds.org
Imprinting seems to work wonders on arid land. http://www.imprinting.org/success_stories.htm
Did you watch greening the desert? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sohI6vnWZmk

Iterations are fine, we don't have to be perfect

yes, I had seen the greening the desert videos, they are amazing and one of the reasons I even thought forest gardening might be possible in my area. I had really hoped to find something more in depth on the subject, though.

Wow, that is a beautiful summary of Forest Gardens, and some beautiful examples.

Thanks for the link and the look.
