For parents teaching their children to garden, it is hard to compete with the apps on their tablets and phones, such as “Farmville” and “Grow A Garden,” that grow plants and communities seemingly overnight.
The Bookstore in Lenox will host a reading of "Mapping Shangrila," with editor and Bard College at Simon's Rock instructor Chris Coggins, on Sunday, March 22, at 3 p.m. He will present a slide show of photos collected in his travels and investigations in the various lands discussed in the essays. A book signing will follow the event.
