What a joy to host the fifth monthly class in our Know How series with Sawline Apothecary at Kinship Pointe at McCook and Hillcrest "A Caring Center". Emily demonstrated how to make a prairie flower salve with olive oil, shea, beeswax and fresh lavender, comfrey, calendula and rosemary flowers. Nature’s way to heal bumps, scrapes, boo-boos and owies! Know How is supported by generous grants byNebraska Arts Council, McCook Community Foundation Fund, and Graff Charitable Foundation. Today would have been Dolores Graff’s 94th birthday and her wisdom about natural remedies inspired this project. Thank you Emily and Linda Graff for volunteering today!

The Seasoning without Salt presentation was a delicious way to spend a Saturday morning Kinship Pointe at McCook. Thank you Martha Callahan for sharing the delicious herbs from Sawline Apothecary in a myriad of easy fruit and vegetable combinations! You can see the honey from Busy Bees Garden and Greenhouse was well used for vinaigrette and seasoning. We really appreciate the grant from McCook Community Foundation Fund that supports this work.

We are excited to share a magnificent display of remedies from Know-How McCook. Visit ArtBank, 108 West D Street, open today from 10-4 pm and ongoing through the summer.

Know-How (2024-ongoing) is a project by Jody Wood featuring a process of collecting and sharing community health knowledge from around the world. Within the project, knowledge about health and care is generated through situated encounters, material engagements, and storytelling. Launched in September 2025, Know How: McCook includes oral history and remedy-as-recipe workshops in collaboration with Hillcrest Nursing Home, Kinship Pointe, Heritage Senior Center, and various residents of McCook. The project is supported by the Ed and Jean Mathews Foundation, Nebraska Arts Council, Graff Charitable Foundation and in collaboration with the 6th Floor Project. A shared community meal based on mobility remedies will take place at ArtBank on September 18, 2026. Save the date!
