Horti:CULTURE Book and Media Discussion Group

What is the Horti:CULTURE Book and Media Discussion Group?

We redesigned our book club with the hopes of making it more accessible and interesting. This discussion group will bring folks together to talk about a range of media related to Women in Horticulture; books, articles, movies, and more. 

​

We hope the discussion group will:

• Create a place to exchange ideas with a form of media as the foundation of discussion

• Share the stories and experiences of historic and contemporary women in horticulture

• Highlight the literary contributions of women 

• Build professional and social connection
