#WellsME - Native #NewEngland #Shrubs

Saturday, October 4, 2025,
10:30am – 1:00pm

"Join Boot Boutwell to explore the world of native New England shrubs in autumn!

"Shrubs are a key part of New England landscapes. This program will take a close look at about ten common native New England shrubs, such as high bush blueberry, silky dogwood, sheep laurel, meadowsweet and steeplebush as well as a few non-native invasive shrubs. The program will focus on plant identification as well as fun and interesting #NaturalHistory. We’ll see a plant which colonial Americans used to make candles, a plant whose fruit sea captains used to bring on long voyages to help prevent scurvy, and a plant which the Chippewa used to restore balance in their lives. And as winter is coming and the leaves are going, we’ll also consider some winter identification characteristics. Children ages 10 and up are welcome to register if accompanied by an adult."

Common #dogwood #berries.
I use them for making natural dyes.

Patch of healthy tall #OregonGrape berries.
I find them too seedy & sour for my personal tastes. I only like them in jams/jellies when mixed with a sweeter fruit to balance flavours.

Stormy Weather is a beautiful #ClimberRose with large dark purple blooms & centers with golden-yellow stamens. As she ages, her colour fades to a gentle lavender. These cupped to flat blooms are produced in clusters & emit a spicy #fragrance. Stormy Weather will show more purple-blue tones in cooler weather.

#DeathCamas - all parts of plant are #toxic & shouldn't be handled. Only bee that can tolerate its toxins is the specialist mining bee. Toxic to animals, especially sheep. Humans have been poisoned after ingesting bulbs; kids have been poisoned after ingesting flowers & flower buds.
