Silent Reading Club at California Botanic Garden

Calling all book lovers! Silent Reading Club has a new start time of 10:00 AM. Come read with fellow friends of nature in the Garden. No assigned books, no forced chit-chat: each Meetup will feature c. 20 mins for optional informal discussion of current book choices and recommendations, followed by silent reading in community. Reading location will change each month (indoor spaces provided in case of rain). CalBG will provide folding chairs, but we highly recommended that readers bring their own comfy camp chair if possible.

The Silent Reading Club Meetup is free with garden admission. We welcome walk-ins, but you can help us plan by RSVPing ahead of time. If you need to purchase a garden admission ticket, click here.
