South Florida was once the domain of the Calusa Indians, a powerful and complex society. The rich estuaries of southwest Florida was home to a dazzling profusion of plants, which provided them with food, tools, fuel and medicine. Marty Kendall, a Master Gardener, Florida Master Naturalist, and author of “The Plant World of the Calusa: A view from Pine Island” will discuss some of the plants that were used by the Calusa and how they were utilized. Marty, is a retired clinical psychologist who volunteers at the Calusa HeritageTrail, part of the Randell Research Center at Pineland as a docent.
