Foraging as Stewardship: Garlic Mustard, Friends of Princeton Open Space

Sunday April 27, 2025
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Join the Friends of Princeton Open Space (FOPOS) and local experts Matt and Shannon for a garlic mustard foraging & land stewardship session at the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve in Princeton. During this stewardship session, participants will learn about the origins of garlic mustard and how to identify this plant. We will spend some time removing this tasty, but invasive plant that threatens the biodiversity at the Preserve and crowds out native plants. Folks will be able to take their garlic mustard harvest home, as well as taste some homemade garlic mustard pesto (compliments of Matt and Shannon). A recipe card will be included so that you too can make this unique and delicious recipe at home.

Participants: please bring a collection container for the foraged materials. Please also dress for the woods! We recommend long sleeves, long pants, sturdy shoes/boots, and work gloves. Full details will be sent to those who RSVP.

Anything Goes, Kelsey Theatre

Sunday April 27, 2025
2:00 PM

All aboard as the talented students of the Academic Theater and Dance Program and Entertainment Technology bring you this toe-tapping musical. When the S.S. American heads out to sea, two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love – but sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, a comical disguise, and some good old-fashioned blackmail. This classic musical has been updated with a fantastic new book (2022), but still features Cole Porter’s most joyful score, including “I Get A Kick Out of You,” “You’re the Top,” and, of course, the show-stopping title song. After more disguises, ploys, confessions, mistaken identities, and marriage proposals - all done to toe tapping music-how will everything work out? Who knows? Anything goes!
