Botany

[close] The Reading the Western Landscape Book Group explores the portrayal of western North American landscape in fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. The group meets the 1st Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the LA County Arboretum Library. The group uses the Shared Inquiry™ method developed by the Great Books Foundation. The chosen book of the month must be read in order to participate. New members welcome.

[close] This group was founded to contribute to the listopia of 'Botany Reference Books' for taxonomic identification of plants and fungi in arctic, temperate and tropical regions.

[close] This is a book club for Heartwood Students to share books on herbs and herbal medicine related books. If you are a heartwood student, feel free to join us!

[close] The goal of this reading group is to be curious and to explore an array of biological topics by reading textbooks chosen by the group. The hope is that this approach will allow us to slowly study, review and/or ponder these topics as we help each other along. We will travel through the realms of cell and microbiology to the broad topics of ecology and conservation. The close to two million species currently existing on Earth will become our learning tools to understand life as it has evolved on the fragile third planet orbiting a yellow star - the Earth.
