Residents can enjoy fresh herbs with the daily salad if they're willing to harvest them themselves from the Residents Herb Garden.
Each herb will be clearly marked. Early harvesters are requested to go easy on what they take as this year's crop is still growing.
If you have questions, please contact Topsy Preuss.

The Trips Committee, once again, has come up with a new and interesting excursion. This one will take place on Wednesday, August 2. It will take the group to the John Jay Homestead in Katonah. There will be a docent tour of the farmhouse of Westchester's only Founding Father who lived there from 1801-1829.
John Jay was the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and co-author of the Federalist Papers. He was also President of the Second Continental Congress, a diplomat and Governor of New York State. He was almost as busy as the Chairperson of the Trips Committee.
