Native Pantry: What’s that native used for?
A Brief Tour of Local Ethnobotany with Cyndi Coulter
Historic uses of plants led to Cyndi’s long-standing interest in natives.
Native plants are beautiful, versatile, and great hosts for native birds and insects.
But wait! There’s more! Native people and early settlers used native plants for food, medicine, shelter, fibers, and dyes.
Grow your own natives to satisfy these uses and gain an appreciation for some of the common plants we walk alongside.
