If you are interested in learning about native medicinal plants, we invite you to join us on Wednesday evening, Oct. 16, for a presentation by Lake McCullough.
On her summer plant walks, she opens our eyes to the bounty of medicinal and edible plants growing locally. During this presentation she will focus on native medicinal plants that are harvested in autumn.
There will be plant samples to look at and details concerning the uses and preparations of these herbs. Included will be recipes to make simple tinctures, salves and syrups at home.
McCullough is a native of Pagosa Springs. She developed an interest in the healing properties of plants at a young age and furthered her education to become certified as an herbalist.
Judging from the popularity of her plant walks and presentations, the home uses of plants is of interest to many in our community. We appreciate her willingness to share her knowledge with us.
The public is invited to join us on Oct. 16 for this fun event.
We meet at the Community United Methodist Church on Lewis Street. Enter through the side door closest to the parking lot or let us know to open the main doors for handicap entry. Enjoy refreshments with us starting at 6 p.m. prior to a short business meeting at 6:30 p.m. preceding the presentation.
In appreciation for our meeting space, contributions of nonperishable food for the church food bank are collected at our meetings. If you are unable to join us in person, a link to join on Zoom will be posted on our website, www.weminucheaudubon.org.
