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!
