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.

Birdbath I’ve been waiting for months to finally install this bird bath I made. I added a stand in the middle to support a small branch so birds can perch before bathing or drinking. Hope they use it #ceramic #birdbath #birdsneedwater #naturallooking #lovebirds #lovenature- by priscillawoolworth 6 days ago

Plant Oaks These large, long-lived trees support more life-forms than any other trees in North America. They provide food and protection for both birds to bears, as well as countless insects and spiders, among the enormous diversity of species. North American oak leaves vary greatly in shape and size, as this small sampling in this image. Image by Douglas W.

Happy Birthday to an amazing, inspiring, and wonderful woman❤️ The first time we met was just over 10 years ago, inside a huge private aviary and together we marveled at all the beautiful birds flying around us. These photos were taken at a speaking event a few years later, where I went to hear here give a talk to an audience of thousands of people. I adore her and have huge respect for her and her dedication to bettering the planet. Thank you Jane for all you do and your continued inspiration. You are a treasure @janegoodallinst @rootsandshoots Photos by @anthonyslayterralph - by priscillawoolworth 1 week ago
The woods by my house have wild garlic starts sprouting up everywhere. Looks like I will be foraging lots of this delicious edible early summer. @riversedgefarmny #wildedibles #foragemindfully #wildgarlic #hudsonvalleyny - by priscillawoolworth 1 week ago
Bird Lovers Be a good landlord by cleaning your nesting boxes! Here are 4 of the 12 nesting boxes I’m putting up, after being scrubbed clean inside. And...This is the same bridge featured in the previous photo, that leads to @riversedgefarmny and further on, into the wildness. #nestingboxes #keepthemclean #bluebirds #carolinawren - by priscillawoolworth 2 weeks ago

Dried Orange peels destined for the fireplace, to be used as kindling instead of store bought fire starters. The oil in the skin fuels the fire and in the process they release less creosote than traditional paper. It will keep your chimneys cleaner and leave your home smelling like roasted oranges. Did you know that in the Middle Ages, cooks were more likely to use the dried peels as seasoning than they were to serve the fruit or the juice. #reducewaste #dryorangepeels #useaskindling #addtodriedbark - by priscillawoolworth 3 weeks ago
Sap gone nuts! Impossible to capture the drops of maple water dripping from the top branches of this sugar maple tree. I was standing under it yesterday, being photographed by @acountryroad .photo for @christydawn when I felt the drops. The sugaring period is peaking and so the maple water is flowing up the tree from its roots and out of any openings. Magical times in the Hudson Valley✨
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.
