    Join fellow garden enthusiasts and book lovers as they discuss books about plants, nature and the environment. “Nature’s Narratives” is a book discussion group sponsored by the Scott Arboretum where readers come together to discuss a book once a month and share in the reading experience. This month the group will discuss Wendell Berry's The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture. First published in 1977, Berry argues that agriculture is integral to American culture and that humans mistreat the land when they become divorced from it. Participants will need to read each month’s selection prior to the discussion.
