    logo KSBSedona AZ (February 3, 2012) – Keep Sedona Beautiful, Inc. continues to celebrate its 40th Anniversary with well-known Brad Lancaster, who will kick off its 33rd Annual Native Plant Workshop as its morning keynote speaker on Saturday, March 24th. His topic will be “Planting the Rain: Principles, Practices and Tips for Water Harvesting Earthworks and Raingardens.

    Brad Lancaster is an expert in the field of rainwater harvesting and water management. He is also a permaculture teacher, designer, consultant and co-founder of Desert Harvesters, a non-profit organization located in Tucson, where he lives on an eighth of an acre. On that urban lot and adjoining right-of-way, he and his brother harvest over 100,000 gallons of rainwater a year. This harvested water is then turned into living air conditioners of food-bearing shade trees, abundant gardens, and a thriving landscape incorporating wildlife habitat, beauty, edible and medicinal plants. Such sheltering landscapes can cool buildings by up to 20° F (11° C), reduce water and energy bills, and require little more than rainwater to thrive.

    20120203 BradLancasterThis year’s Native Plant Workshop will take place at West Sedona School, 570 Posse Grounds Road, from 8:30am – 3:00pm. In addition to a second keynote speaker (to be announced later) there will be a total of eight workshops from which participants may choose to attend two. Workshops will address a variety of gardening topics such as Container Gardening, Composting, Firewise Landscaping, Native Plant Essential Oils, Insects, Hydroponics, Highlands Cacti and Identification of Locally Invasive and Noxious Weeds.

    It Takes a Lifetime and Sometimes Even More

    By Amaya  Gayle

    Sedona, AZ — It takes a lifetime (perhaps lifetimes) of stretching and expanding, ripping and tearing, just to move through one’s predispositions, to meet one’s inbred resistance and evolve to the grace of simple tolerance. During this precious part of the journey, it feels like you are taking the steps, are choosing right, left or straight ahead, that you are in the game.
