Cheryl Maddocks Bowing Out May 20, 2014 Cheryl Maddocks After 27 years of writing, it is time to branch out. Sydney Morning Herald http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/ cheryl-maddocks-bowing-out-20140520-zrisq.html . A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/pe5s32l . .I have always felt mine is the best job in the world. I am passionate about plants and gardening, and I get to write about what I love every week. I have written a weekly column for 27 years, 17 years with this paper. Now, as sad as I am to say it, it is time to move on.
.Writing a weekly column has been quite a journey; over the years I have written more than a 1 million words. No matter what difficulties I have faced in my life, the column was always there. Writing about gardening has been a nurturing experience.
.I never set out to be a writer. My aim when studying horticulture was to become a landscape gardener. When I finished studying, a publisher asked me to write a book. End of story - I was hooked on writing.
.During my career I have watched and written about all the latest trends - native gardens, cottage gardens, low maintenance gardens, the tropical and Mediterranean look, to name a few. I have to admit I have always been partial to the cottage garden look, with its profusion of flowers and bio-diverse plantings. I have also given advice about how to garden in droughts and how to save water and still have a beautiful garden.
.To my mind, organic gardening is the way of the future. We must care for the land and protect it for future generations, not just for the health of the planet but also for our own health. The fewer chemicals we are subjected to, the healthier we will be.
.Gardening is a grounding experience, an ever-changing natural process. Even if you only look after a couple of indoor plants or have a few herbs in pots, they still need care and attention. There are always things to learn.
