Gardening on the Curve

About this ebook
This mini book ‘Gardening on the Curve’ illustrates a process that encourages the gardener to consider using more of the curve in their gardening. The text presents some options and does not ask the gardener to take them on wholeheartedly but consider the relationships between the curve and nature, Chi flow, and we being part of them.
To separate from a modern day lifestyle is to separate from those pressures and return to something of nature, be it for a few minutes or a day. Connectedness to nature allows us to keep a ‘foot in each door’ and introduces balance into our lives.
It provides a separation from worlds that are moving across to mass urbanisation, technology and digitised personal communication. These worlds signify ‘Yang’ and are gathering to create ‘Yang Worlds’, an unknown and ‘product’ of mankind. These worlds are new or in the first generation of their existence.
For people to maintain balance and equilibrium in their life, I suggest something of nature has to be recognised and taken within, and as such, offers a gateway to sustainability and harmony.
Ross Lamond
Ross Lamond is the youngest member of a well-known and respected dairy farming family of the New South Wales South Coast, Australia. He schooled away from home, completing secondary studies at Sydney Grammar School, Sydney. Upon leaving school, Ross returned to the family farm and over a forty year period, gained extensive experience in dairying, beef cattle production, sugarcane, small crop cultivation and horticulture. An ever present interest in the garden naturalised into that of a nurseryman, landscape gardener and grower of in ground trees for landscape. Concern about environmental issues such as tree decline, dry land salinity and habitat degradation led Ross into external studies in Environment at Mitchell College of Advanced Education at Bathurst, followed by post graduate studies in Urban and Regional planning at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane. A chance reading of a Feng Shui publication in 1998, introduced Ross to Feng Shui and its influence on our lives and surroundings. He applied some of its principles into the garden and developed his own interpretation of Feng Shui garnished through personal experience and observation. The interest has led Ross into a journey of self-discovery including that of nature, environmentalism and spirituality. It’s an ever growing interest. Ross lives by himself, has four grown up children, and likes to travel and garden and write about his experiences and observations.
