Longwood Gardens Community Read

Once again, we are participating in the Longwood Gardens’ Community Read, a program designed around books to encourage conversations surrounding nature, plants, and gardens.

Do plants and gardens inspire you and spark your imagination? The 2025 Community Read selection, Paradise Under Glass, takes you on one woman’s journey to create a beautiful indoor garden at her home as a place of learning and sanctuary after an inspiring visit to a public garden conservatory.

The children’s book this year is The Extraordinary Gardener, a beautifully illustrated story about a young boy seeking color in a dreary world.

Request one or both of these books at Strasburg-Heisler Library!
