Preserving the Past: A Teen Workshop on Food & Archives

BPL Outdoors cooking DIY gardening Interactive Environmental STEM Workshops STEM & STEAM

Teens (13+), join the Young Adult Librarian in our rooftop Demonstration Garden for a hands-on workshop exploring the history and science of food preservation, and its cultural impact.

Learn about traditional preservation methods and discover how these techniques connect to the world of archives—where proper handling, storage, and deterioration are key concerns.

Then, get ready to roll up your sleeves! We’ll be pickling fresh produce—like mangoes, cucumbers, and carrots—for you to take home. Please be mindful of any food allergies and come prepared for an afternoon of learning, creating, and tasting.

This program is made possible through the generous support of the Greenpoint Community Environmental Fund.
