As the snow falls outside, join us inside the warm conservatory for a morning of quiet reading, gentle conversation, and shared inspiration among fellow gardeners.
We’ll have a wide selection of garden design books, horticultural favorites, and seed catalogs from our library—perfect for dreaming, planning, and imagining next season’s blooms. Bring your own book if you like, or simply settle in with one of ours.
Find a comfy spot, sip something warm, and enjoy the company of likeminded gardeners as we read, chat, and gather ideas for brighter days ahead.
If you’re curious about getting more involved at the Botanical Garden, we’ll also have information available about volunteer opportunities.
