Dianne Anestis again joins her husband, Doug Wood, at the festival. She will present 18th century uses of medicinal and edible plants and will tie the cultural exchange of knowledge and skills from Amerindians to such frontier newcomers as Mary Draper Ingles, Betty Draper, Mrs.Jacobs (the old “Dutch” (German) woman) and other newcomers to the Virginia frontier. Dianne will bring fresh samples of various native plants, tinctures and salves for demonstration.
