Hello from Moon Shadow!
We are a non-profit environmental education organization
committed to providing free informal classes to the general public.
Our mission is to enhance access to fresh, healthy produce
while fostering a greater awareness of the need
to protect and restore ecological balance.
Join us in our journey to understand the interconnectedness of
these concepts and their benefits for individuals, families,
and the Living Community.
Our Future Educational Foundation Projects
At Moon Shadow, we are dedicated to offering a range of educational projects aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of environmental issues. Our projects are designed to engage people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities while providing an enriching learning experience that fosters a deeper connection to the natural world. Join us and explore the wonders of our Living Community, sustainable choices, and the importance of biodiversity in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Our "Sweet 16" scalable, hands-on educational Foundation Projects are designed to inspire a switch from NIMBY to MOBY - from "Not In My Back Yard" to "My Own Back Yard" - where we can each make a difference with a few simple acts, where we can replenish instead of deplete. Most of these are "Pot2Plot" projects, which have the ability to use "Flower Power" in the form of seed balm balls. They are designed to fit into small spaces - such as a 6 inch 'pot' - as well as into larger areas - such as an acre 'plot'.

Nature Immersion our future Grounding Programs
Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature with our delightful Grounding Programs. Some include self-guided nature excursions into a bit of Medina County "wilderness".
At Moon Shadow, we offer a unique opportunity to explore sustainable gardening practices, learn about local flora and fauna, and gain a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living beings while submerging into slower, more quiet and peaceful activities that help foster better life balance.
Whatever your circumstance is, if you are seeking some reconnection and wanting to make a difference at the same time, Moon Shadow is your go to place to relearn with nature. We hope you leave feeling a bit inspired and rejuvenated with useful tools and ideas you can take home to use right where you are - the single best place for you to make the biggest impact.
