Griffin Bay Bookstore, along with the San Juan Island Library, is sponsoring an author talk with the gardener Jennifer Jewell in the main salon of the Library Thursday, August 22 at 7:00 pm.

In her presentation, Jennifer Jewell will explore the philosophy of “Cultivating Place,” her national, award winning-public radio program and international podcast, based on the belief that gardens/gardeners are powerful agents and spaces for positive change in our world, helping to address challenges as wide ranging as climate change, habitat loss, cultural polarization, and individual and communal health and being.

Griffin Bay Bookstore will be on hand Library so that Library patrons may purchase copies of Jewell’s books.
