Blanche Pownall -Garrett,
a resident of the Benmiller
area for the past 25 years
and author of three books on
edible plants (including "A
Taste of the Wild" and
"Canadian Country
Preserves and Wines"), was
the guest speaker at the
Goderich Garden Club's
October meeting held at.
Robertson School with a
good number of members
present.
The speaker pointed out
that many of our so-called
weeds are not only edible but
also rich in iron, potash and
potassium.
Water cress, chick weed,
dandelions, lamb's quarters
and bergamot were just a
few of the edibles named by
the speaker. Nature's fruit
basket, including such things
as wild berries, cranberries,
elder berries and So many
others, can be harvested too
but one should make sure
they know which to use as
some are not edible.
When one picks wild
plants, one should do so
intelligently, said the
.speaker. This means picking
the leaves and sterns only,
leaving the roots for 'next
season's crop.
The speaker had an array
of jams and jellies for
members to taste. These
included rose hips and clover
jelly with apples, and pear,
chutney, stag horn, sumack
and plum jam and many
more.
The speaker pointed out
that in the beginning, people
used plants for food, drink,
clothing,. healing and even
After listening to the guest
speaker, members agreed
"that it seems a shame not to
be taking adciyyantage of the
abundance df edibles right
outside our very doors.
Norma Hazlett was in the
'chair for the meeting. It was
decided to write for copies of
Greenscape magazine Tor
1983.
For anyone wishing to
order bulbs, there were
forms available.
It was pointed out that the
Royal Winter Fair in Toronto
is very informative and
enjoyable. Any members
wishing°to 'attend the fair in
November, should do so.
There is also a Landscape
and Garden Show in Toronto

women just like you, 'to serve as
leaders, assistant leaders or resource
personnel, if it is to continue as the
largest volunteer youth movement in
the world. Or as Group Committee

assist the leaders in their work with
today's youth. Our most precious
natural resource, today's youth, needs
You to share in his experiences, to help
