Botanic Book Buddies: Book Buddies meet on the second Wednesday of even-numbered months at noon in the Lawn House.
All are welcome. No need to be a member of the book club or even have read the current book.
2020 Books
The Botanic Book Buddies have chosen their books for 2020.
We had a great response to our request for suggestions for books for next year. Several books had been read in recent years and because we only read 6 books each year, I have listed one other title which might interest some of you.
