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.

About the branch

The 22,000 square foot Fort Ben Branch provides easy access to Library services and collections due to its location in a high-traffic community with access to public transportation. It includes community meeting spaces and study rooms, beautiful landscaping components, and walk-up, bike-up, and drive-up material return locations. Its roof-top solar photovoltaic system will provides 80% of the building's electricity needs. The Library was envisioned as part of a redevelopment plan since the land was decommissioned and transitioned from the U.S. military to the City of Indianapolis in the 1990s.

The Branch is the first library branch in the state of Indiana to become a Certified Autism Center™ by receiving an international autism accreditation through the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES).
