A Fall Day Mushroom Forage in the Hudson Valley Can you spot the only edible mushroom/fungi? It’s actually medicinal...A turkey tail mushroom. (A must see: Paul Stamets’s Turkey Tail Ted Talk) These were some of the specimens I found on this past Sunday’s excursion I went with The Outside Institute’s Laura Silverman. Swipe to the left to see one of the many red-spotted newts we saw; the delicious-to-walk-on mossy trail; our knowledgeable and fabulous guide Laura showing our group at the end of our walk how to do proper mushroom identification and a melange of treasures found by one of
Such a fun day today visiting several gardens on the Dutchess County/NY Garden Conservancy tour with my dear friend Amanda. Loved the wood garden fence made using branches from the property, now all covered in lichen. Swipe to the left to the last image and have a laugh when saying the artists name, three times and fast! Flowers I saw today, which I had never seen before and am now obsessed with: Herons Pirouette Begonia, Toad Lily and Actea Simplex Brunette @thegardenconservancy @innisfreegarden #ilovetogarden #gardening #gardeningrocks
Sunflower Heads & Black Walnuts, drying together. The sunflowers are from my garden, growing next to the gourds. I just learned recently that just like black walnut trees, apparently sunflowers should not be planted near vegetables because they too have an allelopathic chemical, one that inhibits the growth of plants in the area. Also, it’s best to not till sunflower remains back into a vegetable garden either, as the chemicals will remain in the soil for some time. Next year, I’ll be planting the sunflowers on the outside of my vegetable garden! My walnuts trees, which are planted away from
Sleeping Under The Stars& #x2728 ; This charming collage was made by a creative duo, Vicki and Brooke, mother and daughter artists, who only use branches, flowers and leaves. The pieces are all 100 percent natural; not a drop of glue in sight. Once they have taken a photo of the collage, they quickly clear the table and bring the used greenery back outdoors.

Flashback to last February, when these 2 cuttings- from my former fig tree in Los Angeles- were just starting to sprout roots...Swipe left to see them this morning Other plants I have successfully grown from cuttings are geraniums, mint and rosemary. Which ones have you grown from cuttings? Wondering what chores you could or should be doing in your garden this month...Posted on my site is the September garden chore calendar at www.priscillawoolworth.com #figtree #losangeles #california #to #the #hudsonvalley #springsummer #outdoors #fallwinter #indoors
Goldenrod aka Solidago spp. ~a wonder weed~ Currently, my field is full of goldenrod with a sprinkling of purple asters here and there. Just beautiful I let it re-wild this year (instead of mowing it) and the wild flowers haven’t stopped since last May, with the biggest show for the end of the summer: a field of gold. And the butterflies came. Loads of them, especially Monarchs, Swallowtails, Great Spangled Fritillary, Luna Moth and Galium Sphinx Moth. Bees, wasps, ladybugs, dragonflies, hummingbirds, and all sorts of birds. Toads (including wart, who lives in the vegetable garden), frogs, and salamanders. This

Shout Out to Gary and Matthew Moretti of Bangs Islands Mussels, Portland, ME! After earning a master’s degree in marine biology, Matthew Moretti forewent an academic career and instead, purchased a struggling mussel farm in 2010 with his 66-year-old father, Gary. Did you know that mussels are the rare crop than do more good than harm. Mussels are filter feeders, which means they extract nutrients from the water and, in the process, improve its quality. Father and son Moretti insist on sustainability at every step: they eschew fertilizers, use reusable ropes rather than disposable mesh socks, and fuel their boats

Welcome to the Almanac Newsletter, an e-quarterly in which each issue celebrates innovations in Sustainable and Innovative Designs, Game-Changers who are creating and inspiring positive change, Eco Films that entertain and enlighten, Artists and Authors who are inspired by nature, Plant Based Recipes, a monthly Organic Gardening Calendar, as well as empowering readers to become informed consumers, by turning their purchasing power into a powerful tool for change. Attention is given as well to a Group or Organization that endeavors to arrest, contain, or reverse environmental damage and preserve our natural world for future generations.
As the public becomes increasingly aware of global warming and the unhealthy repercussions of heedless consumption of environmentally harmful products, people are more and more choosing to commit to greener, healthier lifestyles. We are all learning how to make conscious choices that reduce our use of natural resources and ideally serve to protect and sustain them.
Welcome also to my book titled LOLA, Lots of Love Always, which is aimed at young women but is a good read for everyone. It shows how to live a sustainable lifestyle and make healthy choices that are good for you and the planet at large. You are welcome to read the LOLA Blog, which has been archived on my site.
