Dr. Jessica Dolan’s Café Botanica Ethnobotany Workshop will be a four-part series on wild edible and medicinal plants of the Eastern Woodlands landscapes of Southern Vermont. Each session will provide plant identification for over 20 species, seasonality, methods for their sustainable harvest and caretaking of plant community regeneration, uses, resources for learning more, and fun! We will also sample foods, teas and other confections made out of the species featured, including foods made by local farmers and harvesters, to promote awareness about Windham County wildcrafters and food producers.The February session of Café Botanica will be about edible and medicinal plants that can be harvested in the winter, and those that “wake up” and bloom surprisingly early in the year. We will cover over 20 plants and trees whose fruit, bark, seeds, nuts, sap, and leaves can be harvested through the winter for nutritious and nourishing foods and medicines. Dr. Dolan will share the botany, plant identification characteristics, and sustainable harvesting practices. We will sample fir needle cookies and teas.
