Review of Welsh Ethnobotany Workshop 2010 by AmeriCymru member Katherine:


Concepts Behind the Event

This event represents a growing effort to provide historical context on the roles of perennial species in traditional and indigenous cultures. It is also an opportunity for us to start exploring links with the species of our own unique cultural backgrounds and to begin creating a platform and community for sharing these personal stories of ancestral and nature connection. This is a starting place.

I’m always seeking input about these ideas. If you have any questions, comments or related ideas, regardless of your ability to attend, please share your thoughts with me at delicioushabitat@gmail.com


Roots,

Ned

If anyone is interested in hardy, traditional, wild food plants from Wales that you can grow yourself- let me know (even if you can't make the workshop).

I was just recently in Cymru looking at wild food sources for background for this upcoming workshop.
