FLORENCE-Florence Arts and Museums is excited to announce its partnership with the Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area to launch the Alabama Plants Series. Hosted by Beth Phillips, this workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to learn about Kudzu. This event will take place on Sunday, March 9th, 2025, from 1pm to 2pm at Pope’s Tavern, 203 Hermitage Drive, Florence, AL.
While Kudzu is not a native plant to Alabama, it thrives in our state’s ecosystem. This workshop will familiarize people with examples of the different types of kudzu products and recipes. There will be an in-depth talk about the uses of kudzu, non-toxic methods of control, and ways to process the plant for use in products and recipes.
The Alabama Plant Series is a set of six free workshops hosted at Pope’s Tavern Museum and sponsored by the Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area. These workshops are meant to draw the connections between Native American cultures, Alabama plants, and the products created by people that are rooted in early traditions. Tickets for this event are available on Eventbrite, here: https://tinyurl.com/58kwf9ad.
Pope’s Tavern Museum is open Tuesday-Saturday, 10am until 4pm, and is located at 203 Hermitage Drive, Florence, AL 35630.
