"Wild Winter: Elixirs and Spices from the Native Garden" a presentation by Rachel Mackow on February 17, 2014

Washington Crossing Audubon Society will host a free, public presentation at the Choral Room in the Campus Center of the Pennington School at 8 PM on Monday, February 17 by local writer, photographer, land steward, and expert on native edible and medicinal plants, Rachel Mackow.

As winter takes over, imagine yourself as a homesteader, miles away from the market and doctor – what if you had to rely on the wild for food or medicine? Join Rachel Mackow for a light-hearted excursion into winter survival and the bounty that exists under the crackling leaves and in wind-swept branches. In this slide presentation, she will highlight traditional uses of native and non-native plants, including edible and medicinal species.
