Want to gorge yourself on some serviceberries and chat about gift economies? The serviceberry trees on the boulevard along 20th Avenue *should* be ripe and ready for eating by next week! Stop by any time between Noon and 2:00 pm to chat about gift economies or just hang out and get juiced up on berries. Please feel free to invite friends and fam!
You can get a copy of Robin Wall Kimmerer’s book about serviceberries, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World (https://birchbarkbooks.com/products/the-serviceberry) or read the essay that it is based on in Emergence Magazine, https://emergencemagazine.org/essay/the-serviceberry/.
Email or Google Chat Jenean Gilmer (gilmerje@augsburg.edu) with questions or concerns.
If it’s raining we’ll hang out in Hagfors where there is seating near the back door (that leads to the community garden). Bring vessels for your serviceberries!
