Botany

[close] The Reading the Western Landscape Book Group explores the portrayal of western North American landscape in fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. The group meets the 1st Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the LA County Arboretum Library. The group uses the Shared Inquiry™ method developed by the Great Books Foundation. The chosen book of the month must be read in order to participate. New members welcome.

[close] The goal of this reading group is to be curious and to explore an array of biological topics by reading textbooks chosen by the group. The hope is that this approach will allow us to slowly study, review and/or ponder these topics as we help each other along. We will travel through the realms of cell and microbiology to the broad topics of ecology and conservation. The close to two million species currently existing on Earth will become our learning tools to understand life as it has evolved on the fragile third planet orbiting a yellow star - the Earth.

[close] This book club group is for friends of De La Plants who want to learn more about plants and their relation to us. We will read books by plant people, for plant people! Nonfiction, or fiction! We're just all about plants. 1 book a month!

[close] The whole of nature, of the cosmos is nothing short of miraculous. I draw inspiration and joy from the natural world and all of its wonders, and if you do as well, join and share which book have helped inspire you. Perhaps we can help each other discover interesting and provocative nature titles. The goal of this group is to explore books, fiction and non-fiction, that highlight the natural world, particularly those that stoke the imagination.
