Downers Grove Public Library

Meeting Room Both (Max Capacity 100)

Discover how gardens and garden imagery play a role in the works of our favorite authors with Master Gardener and writer Cindy Crosby.

Join master gardener and natural history writer Cindy Crosby for a fun look at gardens in literature and poetry. From Agatha Christie's mystery series, to Brother Cadfael's medieval herb garden, to Michael Pollan's garden in "Second Nature," to the "secret garden" beloved of children's literature, there are so many gardens that helped shape the books we love to read. Discover how gardens and garden imagery figure in the works of Mary Oliver, Henry Mitchell, Barbara Kingsolver,  Lewis Carroll--and many more! See your garden with new eyes --- and come away with a list of books you can’t wait to explore.

This program is presented by Cindy Crosby, Master Gardener and writer.
