Hello out there!
I am back to the Blog after a few months off and I have some great updates. But first, let me say it has been a strange winter here in New England. Little in the way of freezing days and even fewer days of snow fall. It leaves me wondering how the spring seedings and plantings will go and if we are in for a summer of rain. I have been hearing the birds singing spring songs and the trees are budding. It looks to me that this years growing season will start early.
That said, I have sent out my first piece of advertising to Vally farms so they can book a workshop for their new crews! I have been lucky to have an amazing graphic designer, Seth Gregory, helping me and the final product was amazing. Visit my website to see it, go to the Media Gallery page.

The next update is that I will be presenting at the Northeast regional meeting of the Association of Specialty Cut Flower Growers in March. This meeting will have a handful of workshops to for farmers who grow cut flowers. The topics range from; new tools just for their work, tractors, greenhouses, pest managent and injury prevention. I will be tailoring my Bodycare Workshop to the specific challenges that growing and harvesting flowers bring. I am so excited to be part of this meeting and also to be introduced to the folks that work so hard to make the bouquets that make our tables, parties and weddings beautiful!
Last, but not least, I am working on an article on the importance of flexibility in overall health that I hope to get published. I am looking at a verity of periodicals and magazines that are geared to the organic/small farmer. If anyone has any ideas of publications that would be a good fit feel free to let me know!
All the best,
Lydia
