Thursday, October 22, 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm – Living Off the Land: Native American Lessons
Not too many years ago, our woods were home to Native Americans who lived their lives without visiting grocery stores, shopping malls, doctors’ offices, or video arcades. What did they eat? How did they stay healthy? What did they do for fun?
Bonnie Drexler shows how to follow in their footsteps as we walk the Garden looking for food, shelter, medicines, and amusements.
Back in the classroom, dye a headband with native plant dyes and make a birch-bark craft.
