... The
most important and perhaps most underutilized resource for any Garden
Zone Manager is the people of his or her community. In fact, ideally
all the resources a |
|
|
|
person would ever need
ought to reside in the local community. And it is pretty
amazing how much help you can secure from the folks who live right
around you. When you extend yourself just a bit, make an effort
to connect with the best people, support seems to flow your way.
Just the other day I had a situation where a community member helped
me to avert a minor catastrophe. A 50-foot Hemlock tree was threatening
to fall directly on my roof. When I saw how the wind was blowing
it, and actually witnessed the roots lifting up, I knew something
had to be done right away. I made a quick phone call, and a buddy
of mine came over with a ladder and a chain saw. In a couple of
hours we had the tree down. Could I have hired a tree company? Sure.
But the community coherence, the cooperation, friendship and self-sufficiency
wouldn't have been there.
What kind of things does a Garden Zone Manager
need? Not much in terms of material supplies: a computer, printer,
maybe a scanner; a pick and shovel; clippers and loppers; hoes and
rakes; a way to get around, by foot, bicycle or some other conveyance.
However, from an intellectual standpoint, there is a pretty broad
range of topics with which he ought to have some basic familiarity:

| Gardening of course, particularly
earth friendly methods; biology; ecology; civics and local law; sociology;
religion and theology; and some exposure to higher mathematics and
physics. The manager ought to be able to think clearly and to communicate
well. Most importantly, he ought to have some inkling of the deeper
aspects of spirituality, and the experience of pure consciousness.
He also needs to be able to support himself financially. If the manager
has to work full-time, it will probably prevent him from doing a complete
job in his community. (Having to get a job is the problem that this
manager is facing. See About the Author.) |

When you start snooping around on the
Internet, you discover that there is a phenomenal amount of material
available. So much that it's impossible to digest it all. I'm going
to try to flesh out a few categories that are more or less related
to Garden Zone Management. If you know of any resources that are suitable
for this page, please Email your suggestions. Also, please let me
know if any of these Links are no longer working.
