Russell Village WI The Members of Russell Village WI (Eastern Area) have an idea for you to consider for your next ROSE Session: Your own Backyard Geoâ€"Orienteering Adventure. Russell Village WI Member, |na Henry, and her family own a beautiful piece of property that banks onto the Castor River. She suggested that Branch Members take a nature walkto view the Village of Russell from the other side ofthe river. |na pointed out plants of interest, from walnut trees and endangered species of trees to historical landmarks and indications of a time long ago. The ladies continued along about a 1/2 km to her family gardens in which they grow many varieties of plants and, of course, her famous garlic gardens. Then, they all took part in a Geoâ€"Quiz on her gardens. It was a wonderfully relaxing and informative evening which concluded with homemade rhubarb punch and rhubarb crisp! It was natural, it was good exercise, it ‘ was so relaxing â€" and it was free! Literally, right in her own "u back yard!
