Fertile Minds
HPGC Book Club

The HPGC Book CLub "Fertile Minds" was started in 2019 by member Carolyn Bennett to read non-fiction, fiction, and memoir relating to horticulture and gardening. Since its origin the book club has read a variety of titles which you may see by scrolling through the posts below. We are looking for a volunteer to moderate the book club. Please consider moderating or joining - it's a wonderful way to explore literature and one another. Contact Michaela Burschinger if you're interested in joining us.
