“When I was your age, television was called books.”
― William Goldman, The Princess Bride
On January 31st, at the most recent SDHBC meeting, in addition to the discussion of Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Kimmerer, the members voted unanimously to move the SD Hort Book Club meeting day permanently to the 1st Monday of every month on Zoom instead of the last. No time changes were purposed.
Want to join the book club? It's easy. Send an email to info@sdhort.org with Book Club in the subject line and you will be added to the roster.
The new reading schedule is:

Send titles for nomination to Karen by email info@sdhort.org.)
· May 2nd will be Turn Here For Sweet Corn by Atina Diffley.
