Changes in the Wind from Judy Springer

 





As the February snow moon rises above the horizon tomorrow evening, she will be a reminder that spring is just around the corner. Although I closed down Willow Moon Nursery here in Flagstaff last year in preparation for my move to Oregon, it's not the end of the nursery. I've been busy over the winter, obtaining certifications to teach new and advanced techniques of yoga and yoga nidra. I've also been working hard to receive my permaculture design certification through Oregon State University.

Moving forward, this is the last email I'll be sending to my Flagstaff community. I'll be rebranding, designing a new website, and creating new mailing lists for Willow Moon Nursery in its new incarnation in the Pacific Northwest. Please let me know if you'd like to remain on the mailing list as I work to rebuild it.

I firmly believe regenerative agriculture is the only way to save our planet from the ravages of climate change, and permaculture is the way forward for those of us living in both rural and urban environments. It assists in making our living spaces more sustainable and resilient to the effects of the environment, including drought, wind and fire, through firewise landscaping, rainwater capture, composting, use of edible and medicinal native species and more. I've been doing a bit of botanical, ecological and firewise consulting over the last few years and will be offering four permaculture consultations here in Flagstaff, at a reduced rate and for a limited time, to build up my design portfolio. Please contact me if you're interested. 

It's been a pleasure working with all of you through my nursery over the past few years. I hope this year brings you many enjoyable and fulfilling hours in your garden!
