This is a collection of articles by a sports psychologist working in Grahamstown, South Africa. It focuses on the nature of school sports and the mindsets that are needed for success, both from the athletes and from the people around them. It's about yourself as much as it is about winning or losing.

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.
