Judy's love of plants began at an early age. Acutely aware of the beauty and importance of flowers as a young child she explored the woodlands and meadows of Northern Florida and Southern Alabama.

As owner of Tu Mu Shi Nursery in Wakulla County, Florida, Judy built a small herb nursery into a dynamic and successful enterprise, involving herself in every aspect of plant growth, reproduction, soil & fertilization requirements and the social, environmental and aesthetic benefits available from sustainable landscaping.

A passionate proponent of permaculture, organic systems and sustainability, Judy is a leading voice in the movement to 'Green' urban areas. Her goal of producing low maintenance custom designs for code minimum costs, combined with her knowledge of soil, climate and plants has resulted in spectacular commercial and residential greenscape installations possessing multiple benefits replete with permaculture and carbon off-setting visions.

Judy has been the subject of various newspaper articles, teaches workshops and believes in giving back to the community through her time, efforts and assistance with community 'Green' projects.
