Empowering children to take control of their health and well being through using natural herbal remedies is one of the most important things we can do for them. Each month we will focus on one plant and take your child(ren) on a journey of discovery. By the time they have worked through this issue they should have a good working knowledge of California Poppy. Of course for this to remain with them, they must be encouraged to use the plant as often as possible. In addition to this zine (which we recommend you print out a copy per child who will be using it), there are some supplies that will be needed to get the most out of this issue. We have created a master list of items in the next section to help you get started on collecting the items needed. In the back of this issue is a journal page for your child to keep notes on their activities using California Poppy. They should write down any recipes they create or any experiences they have with using California Poppy along with the date of when it was used. As they grow and use more herbs, these journal pages will be important for them to refer back to. We’ve included a monthly calendar of suggested activities to incorporate herbal learning into your daily activities. If you’re not sure how to incorporate Herbal Roots into your daily learning routine, use the calendar as a way to get started. Subscribers have found this to be a great starting point whether they are homeschoolers trying to fit Herbal Roots Zine and herbal learning into their daily school routine or public/private schoolers trying to fit a few minutes of herbal learning into their hectic after school routine. My hope is that this calendar will be a starting point to get kids exploring herbs on their own and learn to bring a bit of herbal joy into their everyday lives. 3 Written and Illustrated by Kristine Brown © 2013 Kristine Brown Note to Parents Be sure to check in with our blog! Every Monday we offer a giveaway. Your child(ren) can sign up for a chance to win all sorts of great items including wooden animals, clay pendants and herbal gift packages from grassroots companies such as Mountain Rose Herbs and many herbalists from around the country. For new subscribers, I’d like to suggest investing in a binder of some sort to put these monthly sheets in. One per child if possible so they can each have their own little herbal book. They’ll be pasting actual samples of the herbs in here along with keeping a journal of all their thoughts and explorations of each particular herb. That will create a wonderful memory to last through the schooling lifetime! They are building an herbal foundation of knowledge to be used for the rest of their lives. These are real herbs that can be found almost anywhere or grown very easily. Having this knowledge is very powerful and will stay with them for a lifetime! A great way to introduce Herbal Roots zine is to have them decorate a cover page for their own binder. You can also download a ready made binder cover on our website at: http://www.herbalrootszine.com/freebies/. You might also consider having them make a Herbarium if they haven’t already. Directions can be found on our website. Look for the tutorial in the articles section of our website! What’s new? Be sure to scope out our new label pages! Each month we’ll have a label sheet for the recipes that can be printed on sticky back paper. Choose from predesigned or basic so your child(ren) can decorate it the way they prefer it! You can also find them on our Freebie page. Most of all, have fun. Learn, explore, discover, taste and dream. The herbs are playful and we should be too. Until next month, Peace and Herbs! 4 Written and Illustrated by Kristine Brown © 2013 Kristine Brown Supply List To complete the Herbal Remedy Recipes and Craft Activities for this month you will need the following items.

    April 24, 2020 Theodore Payne Foundation’s Wild Flower Hotline is made possible by donations, memberships and sponsors. You can support TPF by shopping the online gift store as well. A new, pay by phone, contactless plant pickup system is now available. Details here. Widespread closures remain in place. If you find an accessible trail, please practice social distancing precautions. The purpose for the Wild Flower Hotline now is NOT to send you out to localities to view wild flowers, but to post photos that assure you—virtually—that California’s wild spaces are still open for business for flowers and their pollinators. This week Mother Nature turned on the furnace and with the hot temperatures, our spring love fest with the beloved California poppy will soon come to an end. Throughout the state, poppies are setting both seed and promise for a glorious Spring 2021. Antelope Valley and the surrounding area has a great display of luminous orange California poppies (Eschscholzia californica), electric yellow monolopia (Monolopia lanceolata) and patches of goldfields (Lasthenia sp.). Spotted among the overwhelming yellow-orange color, are lupine (Lupinus spp.), tansy leafed phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia) and popcorn flower (Cryptantha spp.). You do not need to leave your home to see the poppies at the Antelope Valley State Poppy Reserve. Just view the live stream online at the preserve via the PoppyCam.

  • Landscape Plants Rated by Deer Resistance
    E271 Bulletin For a comprehensive list of our publications visit www.rce.rutgers.edu Landscape Plants Rated by Deer Resistance Pedro Perdomo, Morris County Agricultural Agent Peter Nitzsche, Morris County Agricultural Agent David Drake, Ph.D., Extension Specialist in Wildlife Management The following is a list of landscape plants rated according to their resistance to deer damage. The list was compiled with input from nursery and landscape professionals, Cooperative Extension personnel, and Master Gardeners in Northern N.J. Realizing that no plant is deer proof, plants in the Rarely Damaged, and Seldom Rarely Damaged categories would be best for landscapes prone to deer damage. Plants Occasionally Severely Damaged and Frequently Severely Damaged are often preferred by deer and should only be planted with additional protection such as the use of fencing, repellents, etc. Success of any of these plants in the landscape will depend on local deer populations and weather conditions.

  • Thesis Draft Rough
    Wesleyan University The Honors College Plant-pollinator interactions across California grassland and coastal scrub vegetation types on San Bruno Mountain, San Mateo County by Miles Gordon Brooks Class of 2020 A thesis submitted to the faculty of Wesleyan University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Departmental Honors from the College of the Environment Middletown, Connecticut April, 2020 1 2 Abstract Animal pollination of plants is a crucial ecosystem service for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem function, worldwide. High pollinator abundance and diversity can likewise improve the reproductive success of the plant community. Plant-pollinator interaction networks have the potential to identify dominant, specialist, and generalist pollinator species within a system, and their host plant counterparts. Understanding these relationships is paramount for buffering natural systems from biodiversity loss in a world where pollinator abundance continues to decline rapidly. San Bruno Mountain (SBM) in San Mateo County, California, is one of the last natural, open spaces in the urban landscape in the northern San Francisco Peninsula. I conducted a series of timed meanders and vegetation surveys at eight sample sites within SBM (four grassland and four coastal scrub sites) to identify plant species prevalence and pollinator species visitation of flowering plants. I employed a multivariate approach for investigating plant and pollinator species richness, plant and pollinator community composition, and trophic-level interactions across the SBM landscape, and I evaluated differences in these relationships between grassland and coastal scrub habitats. A total of 59 pollinator species and 135 plant species were inventoried over the course of the study.

VEN AS A kid I never understood why Grumple Eddy, my crabby Eold uncle, cursed the Johnny jump-ups (Viola tricolor) that popped up in his garden each spring, going after them with a hoe and a scowl. Not only did I love their cheerful purple-and-yel- low faces, but because they self-seeded with abandon, they had a delightful pen- chant for appearing in unexpected places.
