Join two book aficionados who would love to share their favorites from the Society’s impressive collection in the Lawrence Newcomb Library. Did you know Asa Gray wrote a beautifully illustrated botany primer for schoolchildren? Are you familiar with Peter Parley’s Illustrations of the Vegetable Kingdom; Trees, Plants and Shrubs printed in 1840? See rare books illustrating wild flowers, ferns, and woody plants; wonderful children’s books any adult would love; serial publications that show the history of American Botany; and Newcomb’s original notebooks. Conclude with tea and scones.
