Join us for a virtual presentation by author Rebecca Rupp on Thursday, May 7th at 6:30 pm.! Ms. Rupp's presentation, "Wolf Peaches, Poisoned Peas, and Madame Pompadour’s Underwear: The Surprising History of Common Garden Vegetables", is sponsored by the Vermont Humanities Council. As you look forward to summer gardening, or new things to read, you can find out "why a lot of us don’t like beets, how a 17th-century pirate named the bell pepper, how carrots won the Trojan War, and how George Washington was nearly assassinated with a plate of poisoned peas."
Attendance is via remote access. *If you would like to attend this meeting, please email the library at fairfaxlibrarian@gmail.com to request the Zoom link.
