The Arboretum book club promotes the Arboretum's mission through monthly book discussions about conservation issues. Meetings are held at the Arboretum on Tuesday afternoons and Wednesday evenings as detailed in the schedule below. Readings include nonfiction, fiction, essays, biography, and poetry, and will focus on horticulture, natural history, science, ecology, history, and environmental issues. Members share leading discussions of their readings.
Membership is limited to 15 participants; Arboretum membership is required. Contact Carol Jelich for information on joining.
Book club selections are available for sale in the Arboretum Bookstore
Honey-based treats prepared by member Sydney Doehler helped set the mood when the Adkins Arboretum Book Club met in June 2010 to discuss Gilbert Waldbauer's Fireflies, Honey, and Silk.
