WHERE PLANT KNOWLEDGE LIVES
A quiet corner for the curious member
HPSO’s Reading Room is located at our Elk Rock Garden headquarters and is open to members every Monday and Wednesday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Come browse our impressive collection of horticultural books, discover new ideas, and deepen your plant knowledge. While you’re here, enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi, a restroom, and the opportunity to stroll through the beautiful gardens surrounding the space.
The Reading Room is no longer a lending library, but it offers a welcoming place to research, take notes, work on your writing or garden design, or simply sit with a good plant book for a while.
Please check in with the volunteer on duty when you arrive.
