Rosie Omundsen and the humble coconut
Rosie Omundsen you are a wonderful teacher. Paula Shirley this is something Butcher's Creek kids would love? Rosie has such knowledge of all things coconut...so wonderful on all levels: environmental, community, connectivity, stories, history, ephemera...and baking! Thanks so much for the wonderful coconut frond weaving workshop. A great way to meditate and connect with a like-minded person. I am so lucky to have met you. Such an inspiration. Who would have thought the humble coconut plant could be used as a mat, ball, basket, coconut pulp squeezer, house timber, broom bristles....infinite possibilities!
