GRAFTON — All are invited to attend “Farms and Gardens,” a free book discussion series sponsored by the Vermont Humanities Council and generously funded by the Windham Foundation's Grafton Fund.
Discussions will be hosted by Grafton Public Library at 204 Main St., on Thursdays beginning at 6:30 p.m. The library is ADA accessible.
Vermonters know as well as anyone the rich metaphors inherent in farming and gardening. These authors dig deep to explore the philosophical roots, family dynamics, and personal enrichment associated with tending and growing.
