Store
What I offer in my store is a reflection of my lifestyle, one that is focused on planet friendly choices: invest in things that are useful, that last, that you love and that don’t harm the planet. In my store is an eclectic ever-evolving selection of favorites + one-of-a-kind finds and limited editions from my studio.

I love this time of year because it’s peony season (and ramp, fiddlehead fern and blossoms of all kinds season). The natural seasonal time for peonies to bloom is late spring into early summer. Enjoy these spectacular flowers while they last. Did you know that peony is name after Paeon, a student of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing. In Greek mythology, when Asclepius became jealous of his pupil, Zeus saved Paeon from the wrath of Asclepius by turning him into a peony flower. #peony #agiftfrommydaughters #springflower #favoriteflower #shortseason #priscillawoolworthphotography- by priscillawoolworth 5 days ago
Textures & Diversity in Nature One of the fundamental qualities of nature is diversity. Nature is a richness of colors, forms, and elements that change with every day that passes. It makes endlessly fascinating and beautiful. Bird’s nest, dried gourd, dried sunflower head and pinecone. #birdsnest #pinecone #gourd #sunflowerhead #saved #stored #inthegreenhouse @riversedgefarmny #priscillawoolworthphotography - by priscillawoolworth 5 days ago
Rhubarb Flowers When a rhubarb flowers, this is called bolting or going to seed. I removed the flowers so that the rhubarb plant will direct its energy towards growing leaves. In case you didn’t know, the leaves are poisonous so only eat the stems.

Cairo/NY to Protect Fossil Forest So happy and relieved that the world’s oldest forest at 385 million years old and dating back to the Devonian Age, will be protected from trespassers. Apparently, people on ATVs removed protective barriers in order to drive on top of the fossil forest. It will have to be fenced off so that people don’t drive on it, or do other acts of vandalism to this geological phenomenon. #respectnature #respectourelders #protecttheland #preventvandalism #preservethishistoricsite #oldestfossilforest #deservesrespect #cairony - by priscillawoolworth 1 week ago
Spring is my favorite season in the Hudson Valley in upstate New York because of delicious wild edibles that I can forage. This afternoon, I picked a handful of ramps and nettles, golden oysters and morels. Ramps and morels for dinner tonight, in pasta. Nettles to be made into pesto and some to be dried for tea in the future, which I will be drinking often during hay fever season as it alleviates the symptoms. I’m planning on making more ramp butter too. #springtime #forage #wildedibles #ramps #nettles #morels #deliciouswildfood - by priscillawoolworth 1 week ago
Thank you @georgewhipple for the glorious gift I received from you on Arbor Day. I love trees and this one is such a pretty thing, with its tulip-shaped flowers in the Spring. Trees protect our planet’s natural resources. Plant trees! @arbordayfoundation #arborday2021 #plantatree #giveatree #bestgiftforPW - by priscillawoolworth 1 week ago
Fritillaria Imperialis Extraordinary looking flower, very beautiful and surprisingly fragrant, like marijuana. As a cut flower, be forewarned. As a flower in the garden, a group of 6-12 at the rear of a border would be stunning. #fritillariaimperialis #strongsmelling #stunningflower - by priscillawoolworth 2 weeks ago

When Time magazine named me a new Green Pioneer in 2009, I had just launched my first online eco friendly general store in Los Angeles, and an online quarterly Almanac Newsletter about everything positive going on in the environment. I also authored the book LOLA Lots of Love Always, about how to live a sustainable lifestyle and make healthy choices that are good for you and the planet. Although targeted to young women, it ended up appealing to all age groups.
As my life and work evolved over the years, my dream was increasingly about living a simpler lifestyle closer to nature, hence my move to the Hudson Valley in Upstate New York, where I could still continue my work, have a much larger garden, woods to wander in and be the best steward I can be of the land I now call home.
Now, I have a new store: Priscilla-Woolworth-Store-Studio, which continues to reflect my lifestyle: acquiring things that are useful, made to last, and don’t harm the planet.
My “larger” garden became a mini organic farm, River’s Edge Farm, where I grow enough food that I am able to donate a portion to a food pantry called the Recovery Kitchen in Hudson, New York. I also sell wild foraged and grown produce to an organic community market in Philmont, New York.
The journey continues.
