Edible Wild Plants- Russ Cohen - Saturday, Sept. 28th IGC Meeting

A note from Maureen about our first meeting:


Join us for our first meeting of the 2013 - 2014 IGC program year at the Essex County Greenbelt Association located at 82 Eastern Ave., in Essex. Thanks to our coordinator Alicia Moore. 
     
This is an exciting meeting, not only because of our speaker and location, but it introduces Gail's new feature for our programs, her  "horticultural minutes."
   
 Tame vegetables are fine, but gardeners can also enjoy the wild edibles that abound around here, and no better person to introduce them than THE guru of  wild edibles, enthusiastic Weston-native, Russ Cohen.     
    
 Russ has taught his unique courses at some 2 dozen nature and ecologically-related organizations for near 40 years. Mention his name to anyone lucky enough to experience his knowledge and you will know that our program with him next Saturday at Greenbelt is bound to be a treat. His popularity was evident from the difficulty in getting him  to join us this date for our program, being held at  Greenbelt's magnificent marsh-edge headquarters.  The Essex organization is the  publisher of Russ's popular new book, "Wild Plants I have Known..and Eaten". and we have the use of Greenbelt's lovely barn for our meeting and the facilities.
    
So, make sure you don't miss all this ... and possibly a seafood lunch with us after at nearby Farnham's. Wear suitable walking clothes. This is a hands-on field experience!   

 Email Maureen on or before September 23rd to let us know if you are coming to the meeting and/or lunch!
                         
The Essex Greenbelt is on the left just before reaching Farnham's Restaurant on the road to Gloucester, and  that there's plenty of parking in the field just beyond the barn.
 
Thanks,
Maureen
