Environmental Book Group: The Light Between the Apple Trees
Apples are popular, but in our everyday lives we rarely encounter more than a handful of varieties: of the sixteen thousand apple varieties once celebrated in America, scarcely a fifth remain accessible. Kumar reveals the richness of a hidden world, bringing readers to the vibrant forests and orchards where historic trees still survive. She brilliantly weaves together science and childhood memories with the apple’s storied history, from its roots in Kazakhstan to Spanish orchards in the Southwest and Thomas Jefferson’s beloved Monticello fruitery.
Tin Mountain’s Environmental Book Group meets in person the first Wednesday of the month at 4pm. All are welcome, whether you have finished (or started!) the book. Those unable to make it can join via Zoom.
Tin Mountain’s Environmental Group is sponsored in part by White Birch Books of North Conway
