Escape to the Garden of Readin'! Our New Gardener's Reading Group has Begun!

This week, our much awaited reading group met for the first time at The Mayor of Old Town.  We decided which books would be at the top of our list, and also created our much loved name for our new group, The Garden of Readin'!  Thanks to Charlee Rocco, our Clover Queen, for that one! :-)

The first book on our list will be "The Omnivore's Dilemma" (TOD), by Michael Pollen.  This is a foundational reading for anyone interested in the food movement and/or local food. Next, the plan is to read Barbara Kingsolver's "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle", which will take the information we learned in Omnivore's Dilemma and show us how one family lived practically throughout the year on these sound sustainable eating principles. 

If you are interested in joining our reading group and would like to attend next month (we want you there!  We had a blast!) then you just need to grab yourself a copy of TOD and read the Part I of the book, and come prepared to discuss your thoughts on what you read over a glass of wine or a fine beer!

Our next meeting will be on Jan. 12 at 7 pm, once again at The Mayor of Old Town.  Bring a friend!  Put your smarypants glasses on!
