Nature's Narratives
Join fellow garden enthusiasts and book lovers as they discuss books about plants, nature, and the environment. “Nature’s Narratives” is a book discussion group sponsored by the Scott Arboretum where readers come together to discuss a book once a month and share in the reading experience.
The discussions are free and open to the public. Participants will need to read each month’s selection prior to the discussion. Feel free to bring your lunch for our lunchtime discussions. Refreshments and coffee will be provided for our evening discussions.
The first meeting will be in the Scott Arboretum Horticultural Library so space will be limited to 12 participants. The last five will be held in the Wister Center and space will be limited to 15 participants. Books will not be supplied, but one copy of each will be available in the Scott Horticultural Library for check-out. Lending priviledges are for members of the Scott Arboretum only.
There is no charge, but registration is required for each session. Click here or call 610-328-8025 to register for one or more sessions.
