Local Veg Box Manager publishes book on green living philosophy

Wilf Richards, veg box manager for Abundant Earth, has his first book published on March 1st 2026. The book, called The Power of Permaculture Principles, is being released internationally by publishers Permanent Publications.

The book focuses on the philosophy and principles behind green living. Wilf, a local permaculture teacher based in Durham City for over two decades took three years to write the book with over 40 collaborators from around the world. He says "when we align ourselves with the principles of nature then we become more connected to nature and can shift our way of being towards a greener life."

The book is available, signed, directly from the author or pre-orders can be obtained right now from Permanent Publications. Details for both are available in the link below.

Morag Gamble, from the Permaculture Education Institute, says of the book: “Wilf, together with a wonderful community of collaborators, has created a book that sits beautifully at the intersection of designing and educating. It supports designers to deepen their practice and helps educators bring more clarity, creativity, and care into their teaching.”
