7:00-8:00pm on Zoom

Chef and gardener Liz Barbour of The Creative Feast has created an edible landscape to surround her circa 1744 New Hampshire village home. Join us for a slideshow tour through her edible gardens and see how she has introduced a variety of herbs to blend beautifully and deliciously into the landscape.
Herbs enhance a recipe far beyond what a sprinkling of salt and pepper can do. They add flavor, color, and give recipes their cultural identity. Following her slide presentation, Liz will welcome us into her studio kitchen to demonstrate 2 delicious recipes featuring herbal combinations!

The Melrose Public Library and Melrose Veterans’ Services are excited to share one veteran’s story of making a difference for others as we near Memorial Day.
U.S. Air Force veteran William Shuttleworth started a national conversation when he walked from Newburyport, MA to the Vandenberg Air Force base in San Diego, CA in 2019. Walking for 109 days and 3,000 miles, he made this trek to bring attention to veteran’s issues such as housing and healthcare. His walk may be over, but his desire to help fellow veterans has not waned. William will share stories and pictures about the experiences he had and the people he met along his walk. To learn more about William, visit his website.
This event will be held through the remote conferencing platform, Zoom. Please register online by Wednesday, May 26. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom meeting via email the morning of the event.
