Join Greg Monzel of Persimmon Herb School for this walking class to learn about what is in season, what is safe to eat, and what to consider when foraging in urban areas. You won't be able to look at "'weeds" the same way again!
Participants should be prepared to walk and stand for an extended period of time. Participants should also be able to navigate on uneven ground as the walking tour is likely to leave the sidewalk and pavement.
The first library to serve the neighborhood opened in 1957 as the Emerson Branch. This frame house near East 38th Street and North Emerson Avenue soon became too small to meet the neighborhood's needs, leading to the construction of a 7,500-square-foot branch at the same location in 1962. The Emerson Branch closed its doors in 2003 when the current 16,000-square-foot library opened as the East Thirty-Eighth Street Branch.
