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 and will take place in the Scott Library. 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. One copy of each of these books is available for members to check out of the Scott Arboretum’s Horticultural Library. Advance registeration is required. Click here to RSVP now. For more information, call 610-328-8025 or email scott@swarthmore.edu
