$10 for members, $20 for non-members per session
Botanica’s monthly, experience-based book club blends literature, nature, and creative connection. Meeting on the last Thursday of each month, the program invites adult guests to explore books inspired by plants, ecology, art, food, culture, and storytelling—paired with hands-on activities, tastings, and garden experiences that bring each book to life.
We seek to be a community gathering space for readers, offering immersive, themed evenings that encourage repeat attendance, social connection, and cross-program engagement.
All supplies for crafts and activities will be provided, unless otherwise noted.
Participants must be at least 18 years old.
