Get to know Sue J. Morris of Sue’s Salves.

What are you going to speak about at the MOTHER EARTH NEWS FAIR?

I will be speaking twice at the FAIR! My first topic is Planting by the Moon – Gardening in Harmony with the Cosmos.

My life’s work has been studying the cycles of the planets and their influence on life. Gardening in harmony with the cycles of the moon puts us in touch with the natural rhythms of the cosmos. Daily gardening and farming activities can be planned by two factors, the phase of the moon based on the 4 quarters, and the sign of the moon, based on the 12 zodiac signs. I love this connection between earth and sky and have found lunar gardening tunes me in to exactly the right things to do at just the right time. I plan my gardening life around the moon cycles and have always found that this enables me to be working in a way that is beneficial and practical and it is a system that works very well and is easy to follow. My friends often called me to ask when it was a good time to plant and the frequency of the calls led me to start publishing a Planting by the Moon calendar. It was very successful but time consuming and after 5 years I took a few years off because of being too busy, but the requests kept coming so I have completed a 2012 calendar and am very excited to have one done for such a powerful upcoming year.
