Nature’s Narratives: Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest

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 their reading experience.

Written by the world’s leading forest ecologist, Suzanne Simard brings us into the intimate world of trees in which she illustrates that trees are complicated, social, and cooperative creatures in Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom in the Forest.

Each discussion is free and will be offered through Zoom. Advance registration is required in order to receive the Zoom link (and note that Zoom needs to be downloaded on your device to participate).

Participants are encouraged but not required to read each month’s selection prior to the discussion. Nature’s Narratives will be led by Elizabeth Haegele and participants will be free to make comments and be part of the discussion – or just listen in.
