Entangled Life: Book Discussion Group

Put your inky caps on and button mushroom up your coats as the Scott Arboretum & Gardens celebrates Fungi Fest with a mycorrhizal book discussion. In preparation for Dr. Merlin Sheldrake’s visit to campus, we will be talking about his book Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds and Shape Our Futures. Readers who attend can expect to explore mycological themes in small groups with Arboretum staff. Book copies can be borrowed from the Scott Horticultural Library and Swarthmore College’s digital library resources. Additional copies can be borrowed from the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh (accessible through Libby to all PA residents), Delaware County Libraries, and Montgomery County Pennsylvania Library District. Books will also be available for purchase from the Swarthmore Campus and Community Bookstore. This is a free event, but registration is encouraged.
