    About this ebook

    A broad ranging how-to guide through permaculture gardening and community development, with articles about gardening in rough environments and anecdotes about using the garden in school, built up from a local gardening newspaper column.

     

    ""If ever a mortal heard the word of god, it would be in a garden at the close of day."

     

    I first read that quote in Civ.

    Over the years, I've learned more and more about the natural world. In many ways, it was a natural outgrowth of both my philosophical approach and my inclination for teaching.

    It's a matter of a development-orientation, which comes down to watch, experiment and learn. Gardening, as presented here, is more than just growing things; it's teaching and learning, in the most practical and natural possible way. It's called natural science for a reason.

    Collected herein are a series of gardening columns (written for the local newspaper), tips on companion planting and permaculture, short stories of our in-school gardening projects, and other info that'll give you a rounded idea of how to operate your garden as a space for growing, whether that's veggies and wildlife or confidence and education.

    Author

    Chirag Patel

    Chirag Patel is an author and narrator. His work covers a bewildering variety of well-researched topics, from gardening and education to hard sci-fi, ancient wisdom, and philosophy. His most recent books are ‘Seekers and Speakers’, a self-help book about discovering your own path written as a dialogue between himself and Arthur Telling, an author of many metaphysical books. His book ‘Forged on The Frontier’, the first in a series of historical novels about Joshua Norton, Emperor of the United States (1860–1880). As this story attests, Norton has a solid claim to being the strangest man in history, a position which he solidified as an 1820 Settler during the British colonisation of the Cape. Many think the patron saint of Discordianism a myth, his life absurdly exaggerated, but they are wrong. Reality is far stranger than fiction, and Joshua Norton is the absolute proof — a real-life Don Quixote, formed in tragedy and triumph, who was scarred into the delusion of a better world by the violence of this one. He was the first real tabloid celebrity, and inaugurated a long and treasured history of weirdness in both San Francisco and Grahamstown. His most popular audiobooks written by others are the ‘Zhuang Zi‘, ‘Arthashastra’, and the ‘Biggles’ series. The Zhuang Zi is the only audio copy in existence of the largely unknown second Daoist book, joining the hundreds of versions of the Dao De Jing/ Tao Te Ching in existence. The Arthashastra is a completely amoral guide to politics and statecraft that makes Machiavelli look like a toddler, written by an Indian vizier in 200BC. The Biggles series is about Captain Bigglesworth, a WWI fighter pilot and adventurer   Chirag is also the writer of a wide range of educational and informative non-fiction, as well as the sci-fi series ‘Still Light’, a future history that starts in 2020 and extends to the 26th century.
