***About the Third Thursdays series:***
A series led by Bartlett Education team members, each “walk and talk” will focus on a specific theme or section of the Bartlett, encouraging a deeper relationship with some of the special trees, plants, and animals that live and grow at the Bartlett.

Topics explored may be history, arboriculture, plant culture, and geology or wildlife habitats and behaviors. As the series title indicates, this is a program for the curious! No special knowledge is required, but walking shoes and property attire are highly recommended.

Registration is not required for Bartlett members but is encouraged.
Non-members: please register and pay online through our website.

Third Thursday Walks and Talks at the Bartlett Arboretum

Bartlett Arboretum & Garden

Join us on **Thursday, December 5th**, for the inaugural meeting of the Bartlett Book Club! Our first book is *Braiding Sweetgrass* by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Bartlett Arboretum members are free; you can join today [here](https://www.bartlettarboretum.org/become-a-member). For non-members, the event is $10.

To register, [members click here](https://60674.blackbaudhosting.com/60674/Bi-Monthly-Bartlett-Book-Club-05Dec2024) and [non members click here](https://60674.blackbaudhosting.com/60674/Bi-Monthly-Bartlett-Book-Club).

**What?**
The Bartlett Arboretum Book Club is a bimonthly program that brings readers and nature lovers together in one place. What we read is up to you! At each meeting, members vote from a selected list of nature, plant, gardening, or wildlife themed books, to determine what the next one will be. Since this is our first official meeting, the book *[Braiding Sweetgrass](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17465709-braiding-sweetgrass)*[ by Robin Wall Kimmere](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17465709-braiding-sweetgrass)r has been preselected for it. If you would like to join the club, please have read this book before our first meeting date; we will be discussing our thoughts on the book as a group then.

The nature aspect of this club won’t be only limited to the books we choose. At the meetings, there will be additional educational information provided, as well as tie-in plant activities. This will vary by meeting, but activities like book swaps, plant repotting, and propagation are all on the table! Guest speakers will also be brought to the meetings, to offer additional educational information or an important diverse perspective.

This is a low commitment book club. We hope the two months between meetings will give our members enough time to finish the book. But even if you don’t, it’s no problem. Come anyway and discuss what you did get to or hear what others have to say about the book.

**Where?**
We will meet in the Adult Classroom in the Silver Education Center. When the weather warms up again next year, we will meet outdoors within the arboretum grounds.

**When?**
Our first meeting is Thursday, December 5th, from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. We meet every other month, on the first Thursday of the month, unless otherwise noted.

**Anything else?**
Yes: wine and light snacks will be served.
If you have any questions about the club, please email our educator William Carter at wcarter@bartlettarboretum.org
