The Green Season has arrived! Hooray! The gardens are flourishing. The wild plants are soaking up the much need moisture.
The pond is overflowing and ready for fish.
It's was a very busy Dry Season here.

Many visitors came to walk the Medicine Way Trail and learn firsthand about medicinal plant identification, properties and uses.
-
Guests from the US, Canada, Panama and Europe stayed in Cabana Mariposa Azul and raved about their time on the finca.
-
We had our first intern, Mindy Blank, working with us for 6 weeks—we hated to see her go, but know that her adventures in Peru will be marvelous and she will return to us.
-
Our first Mountain Yoga Retreat was a resounding success, with participants asking for more.
-
Our clients continue to support and recommend Cloud Forest Botanicals' products, and our ability to keep pace with demand has been taxed, but we are managing. We are now able to ship small orders directly to the US.
So, now that The Green Season is upon us, what next?

April 27-28 – The 2nd Annual Volcan Verde Integral Festival.
Last year's event was a smashing success, with vendors from all over Panama selling organic produce, handcrafts, jewelry, art work and services. Demonstrations on healthy growing, cooking and eating. LOTS of information about health. The Cloud Forest Queens will be there again—we made great friends and new clients last year, and hope to see them and meet new ones this year. Come over for the day—it's an easy drive on the beautiful, new Ruta Sur.
