4 - Rhubarb Festivals

Rhubarb has inspired a number festivals around the world. The map below shows a pin for each of the festivals I know of (the tip of the pin is nearest my best guess at the location (its a small map so it is hard to be too accurate) and the text closest to the pin head goes with the pin). If you know more information about any of these festivals or if you know about any other rhubarb festivals, please let me know.

Amazon.comPlants, People, and Culture: The Science of Ethnobotany

Michael J. Balick

This is a fascinating integration of chemistry, botany, anthropology, history and ecology…This is an inspiring book that deserves to be read by anyone interested in conservation, ethnomedicine, and indigenous peoples. Two leading ethnobotanists argue that human cultural origins are woven with plants: examining the prehistoric use and gathering of plants by hunter-gatherers to modern times, this examines important connections between indigenous peoples’ development and concurrent plant discoveries.
