Speaker: Doug Elliott. Whether he's pointing out poison ivy, pontificating on poke sallet, crooning about creasy greens, jiving about ginseng, or extolling the virtues of dandelions, herbalist, author, and storyteller, Doug Elliott is known for his lively presentations as well as his broad, practical, scientific and cultural knowledge of the area's many useful wild plants. He will be presenting a lively, informative PowerPoint program of traditional and contemporary plant lore, and scientific medicinal plant information, as well as stories, songs, and outrageous personal narratives celebrating some of America's favorite, edible, medicinal, and otherwise useful wild plants. He flavors his program with regional dialects, lively harmonica riffs, and more than a few belly laughs.
