We were excited to welcome two wonderful speakers for our Annual National Garden Week " Wild Spices" Program at Indian Prairie Public Library last week.

Shane Alden, The Wild Dryad, and Kyla Muhammad from The Conservation Foundation shared their enthusiasm for botany and native plants that have been used for food and medicine for centuries by indigenous people. We learned how to always safely forage and respect wild areas. They also shared specific information about edible and medicinal uses of many wild plants.

There was a table full of plant material (NO tasting). Those items were shared to the audience as the information was shared about it's uses.

It was such fun to learn all about herbs/spices and other edible vegetation in our gardens. We left inspired to learn and plant more!

This was a super way to kick off National Garden Clubs Inc. National Garden Week!

Thank you to Indian Prairie Public Library for hosting this public meeting for us.
