You are invited to join the SD Hort Book Club on Zoom -
Come once if only one book interests you or come often as we read our way through horticulturally rich books of fiction, biography and history.
All are welcome. No cost.
Join by sending an email to info@sdhort.org with "Book Club" in the subject line. It's that easy. The Zoom meeting link will be sent to you via email.
SD Hort Book Club now meets the FIRST MONDAY of every month at 4:30p for Happy Half Hour and 5p for book discussion.

While you read . . .
. . . There are musical playlists and albums from music companies called things like Classical Music For Reading, Classical Music For Gardening, etc. . . and there is even a playlist for Plants! that has 100 songs and 7+ hours of "Mellow music for green leaves,..." all of which might enhance your reading experience.
On Apple Music check out Naxos Records, on Spotify check out Halidon Music, but whichever streaming service you use to listen to music, Amazon Music, Pandora, etc . . . will probably have a playlist or two for studying, reading and gardening. Give it a search!
