Fun Filled Summer!

by

As tomorrow is the first day of summer, I am sure that we all have cottage time on the mind.  The Calendar on this website has been filled with all the activities that are happening in our community this summer and fall.  Not only SPA sponsored events, but Golf Course, Church, Sailing Club, and other community events.  Lots to do for everyone!  It looks like it is going to be a packed summer of socializing and fun.

So, remember to check out our website and facebook page to know what is happening in our little slice of heaven this summer.

 

Edible Wild Plant Walk in Sturgeon Point!

by

EDIBLE WILD PLANT WALK & TALK

Join Karen Stephenson from EdibleWildFood.com for an exploration of nature!

Monday June 24 @ 2 p.m.

31 Graham Lane, Sturgeon Point

Carpool from Fenelon Falls – Parking beside Curling Club, Bond St. W. @ 1:30

Dress for the weather (in layers), and wear sturdy shoes

$5 per person, or $10 includes a copy of her book “Fields of Nutrition”

 Wild edibles exist almost everywhere and are in abundance if you forage for them. Edible wild food has naturally grown in almost every corner of our planet for tens of thousands of years. Edible weeds, flowers and wild herbs were foraged and used as food (as well as medications); and they provided all the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients required for the human body to maintain good health. Foraging for food used to be the way to survive.

Chances are edible weeds are in your backyard, on pathways you walk every day, or in fields you see every day. Many of these plants can be foraged and added to your daily diet to increase your nutritional intake.

Join us to discover:

  • Find out how many vitamins, minerals and nutrients are in wild plants.
  • Discover the health benefits from “weeds”.
  • Tips on harvesting and storing.

Karen will be speaking Monday evening, June 24 @ 7:30 p.m. at the Fenelon Falls Horticulture Society, Salvation Army Citadel, Bond St. W.  Guests are welcome.
