Join us on Wednesday, March 18 for a program on Fascinating Fungi with Bill Bynum at the Fire Hall in Washington, VA. The program will begin about 1:00, following a brief business meeting. We're looking forward to this--it promises to be very interesting!

Bill Bynum is an amateur mycologist, living in Rappahannock County since 2016. He first became interested in fungi in 2005 when curiosity about an intriguing mushroom growing in his yard led him to join the Connecticut Valley Mycological Society(CVMS). Attending the club’s weekly forays, he began to learn about all sorts of fungi that were collected and discussed by experts. Bill was CVMS President and a Trustee for the North American Mycological Association. Bill and his partner Madlyn have enjoyed walks in the Virginia woods and have been surprised and happy to find morels in much greater numbers than ever found in Connecticut. Bill has presented Introduction to Mycology programs featuring his own photographs for many public mushroom events, garden clubs, libraries, and Virginia Master Naturalist training classes.

Thank you to all of our friends and neighbors who came out to the Seed Swap yesterday at the Rappahannock County Library. There was a great turnout, and we especially love seeing our youngest gardeners getting excited about growing things! One young lady told me she plans to be a botanist--excellent!

And a big thank you to the PATH Foundation for the grant that made this possible.

Join us this Wednesday for our featured speaker Shannon Schroter, founder and formulator of Grateful Body Botanical Skin Care in Castleton. Shannon will speak on “Rooted in Nature: The Science and Art of Soil, Plants, and Skin Health.” His discussion will focus on the Earth’s alchemy and ‘growing radiance’ and how plants and soil nurture skin and soul. Shannon will address real skin care -- what it is and how it contributes to the health and balance of the human body. He will cover plant medicines and best practices, and touch on the science of plant micronutrients, extractions, essential oils and garden electroculture. He will have products on display and for sale at the meeting. For more information see: https://gratefulbody.com.

Social time and a light lunch begins at noon, we will have a brief business meeting at 12:30, and Shannon will begin his program around 1:00. We'll be at the Washington, VA fire hall.

All you need for radiantly healthy skin — genuine rejuvenation with zero toxins, zero worries. Setting the highest purity standards for 20 years.

We enjoyed a wonderful visit to Chancellors Rock Farm in September. Check out their website to see what they're doing with regenerative agriculture and nurturing biodiversity, from grasses to bugs and birds, to larger animals. And they have a farm store, too!

Our meeting on Wednesday, September 17th will not be at the Washington, VA fire hall as usual. Instead, we will be touring the gardens at Chancellors Rock Farm in Flint Hill.
