ABOUT THE EVENT
The Fourth Wednesday Readers, Phoenixville Public Library’s daytime book discussion group for adults of all ages, will meet Wednesday, March 26, 1:00 PM at the Library. The group will discuss Paradise Under Glass: The Education of an Indoor Gardener by Ruth Kassinger. Phoenixville Library joins with other libraries and community partners for the annual Community Read sponsored by Longwood Gardens. To celebrate the twelfth year of the Community Read, we are exploring the powerful impact gardening can have on our lives. This year’s book, Paradise Under Glass, is a witty and absorbing memoir about one woman’s unlikely desire to build, stock, and tend a small conservatory in her suburban Maryland home. Ruth Kassinger’s wonderful story of the unique way she chose to cope with the profound changes in her life is interwoven with the fascinating history of conservatories from the Renaissance orangeries to the glass palaces of Kew.
