https://tockify.com/washtenawevents/detail/4808/1743526800000Join us on April 1 as we celebrate Dandelion Day, marking the start of a new year for bee hives and honoring one of the most resilient and versatile plants in our ecosystem for all people.
Often overlooked as a mere W**d, dandelions are a powerhouse of nutrition for humans, a valuable medicinal herb, and a natural dye source. They're also among the first flowers to bloom in spring, providing essential food for bees and other pollinators.
This enlightening event will explore the history of dandelions, their role as a human sustainable food source, and their remarkable resilience. By the end, you'll have a newfound appreciation for these bright blooms—and a smile the next time you spot one in your yard or driveway.
Special guest speaker Barbara Gregerson, Consumer Horticulture Educator, Michigan State University Extension Center, Washtenaw County.
Registration: the event is open and free to everyone. Questions: Contact Sandy McCarthy, WCC Librarian [email protected]
