Diary of a Young Naturalist (2020) by Dara McAnulty
The Secret Life of the City: How Nature Thrives in the Urban Wild (2023) by Hanna Hagen

The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year (2023) by Margaret Renkl

Three very different writers, an Irish neurodivergent teenager, a Norwegian freelance biologist
and an American essayist, invite us to observe closely and pay attention to the plant and
animal wildlife in our own familiar urban and rural backyards and, in doing so, discover the
marvels, magic and miracles of where we live.

Notes: Join our friendly group on the second Monday of February, April, June, September and November from 1:00pm – 2:00pm. In 2025, we will be meeting in-person only in the Visitor Centre Classroom. Our meetings focus on an eclectic variety of topics related to plants and the natural world. We purposely choose general topics to allow members to find materials that interest them and so that there is less demand on a limited number of copies of a particular book. When a topic or a theme (rather than a single book) has been offered, members are asked to read on or as many of the suggested books as they like. To prepare for Book Club meetings, check out the Yosef Wosk Library and Resource Centre at the VanDusen Garden Visitor Center, your local libraries and bookstore for books, ebooks and audiobooks. You are also welcome to conduct your own research online.
