Medicinal plants intrigue fifth graders


2023-11-30 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
Retired teacher Sheila Willis, at right, gave presentations on medicinal plants that would have been used to heal people in the Trabue family lifetime. She gave examples from the garden, starting with Lambs Ear which she encouraged students to lay against their cheeks. The softness of the leaves amazed them, even more after she explained how it could help with healing.

Sheila told the students, "say one of Daniel Trabue's kiddos woke up with a fever one morning... there would have been no clinics to get to. ... most folks would have used the herbs available to them in plants. Touching the Lambs Ear, students described it as fuzzy and soft. No bandaids would have been available, but Lambs Ear leaves could be used... acting like Neosporin... it also could have been used as a biodegradable toilet paper in those days. She had more examples and expects more next year.

Making paint with nature's colors


2023-11-30 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
Painting in Daniel Trabue days would have been done with natural colors from Mother Earth. Mary Anne Loy led the students in how to make their own paint - pick plants and berries, like poke berries, put them in a jar of cold water, then leave them in the sun for two weeks. She strained them and what was left was the natural colors the children were painting with in this picture. From left are Christina Burton, Kalen Scruggs, Brenden Shillings, Millie?? Thompson, Sophia Rowe, Reagan Hillock, and Amani Coomer.
