[MPWG] Edible Weeds in the Urban Landscape Walk with a Medical Chemist on June 5th

[marguerite uhlmann-bower]

Greetings everyone,

Rain or shine, we meet next Wednesday. My apologies if you've received this
already, I have updates.
One, Yemana will be with us again for the walk and give her expertise as a
lover and wild plant foodie.
Stephani and I met with Jason, brew master and medical chemist of Roots
Brewery and walked the path
we are to take on June 5th.

*Action Plan:*
We'll start at Jasons home garden - 16 Spring St, just off of Chestnut St.
Those who sign up early will get directions and handouts on Monday evening,
June 3rd.

We'll then walk the side streets thru the library park on down thru Main
St., Oneonta
ending at the Brewery for a tour with Jason, have some wild eats and some
wild brews.
A Belgian one too.

*When I was on Main St. in Oneonta the other day ... :*
... on my way back to my car, I noticed two young men de-weeding the
planters on the side walks. I went over to them and said - 'hey guys, you're
doing too good of a job de-weeding the planters'. First they said, 'Thank
you' and then realized what I'd said. They were curious and so I started
talking about
the weeds they were pulling out. I've got to tell you all, they were
wanting to know more.
I asked them to leave a few weeds in the planters here and there.
I wonder if they will.

If you haven't contacted me yet about next weeks walk and you plan to come,
please do. We will take 30 persons and so far we have 19.
The press release goes out this this weekend.

Sincerely,
Jason, Stephani, Yemana and Marguerite
