In the fall when many of the green parts of plants die back, the roots are ready to harvest! They have stored up all kinds of beneficial nutrients during the vital summer months and are just waiting to share their bounty with you!

Wendy and Valerie are going to talk about the benefits of some common roots you are sure to find close at hand!  They are also going to be talking about preparation, usage, preservation and storage of these beautiful roots!  Will an hour be enough time!!??

We will once again be collecting for the local food bank at each meeting, so please bring along a food item for the donation box - every bit helps!

We will also have an opportunity to share announcements so feel free to speak up and let us know about any interesting local news you would like to share.
