Join us for a special program researched and created by Kim White, a local master naturalist, who has had a lifelong interest in the natural world.

Kim will discuss some of the women who have contributed to our understanding of natural history from 1458 B.C.E. to this century.

Many women, proficient in a scientific or natural history discipline, were informally educated or self-taught, and rarely given the credit they deserved during their lifetimes, and many women have never been fully recognized for their accomplishments.

Our January 2026 General Meeting will follow the presentation.

Schedule for the evening:

6:30 p.m. Social Time - Enjoy visiting with our friendly members.

7:00 p.m. Program - Kim White presents "Women of Natural History," women historians and scientists from Queen Hatshepsut to Dame Jane Goodall.

8:00 p.m. Darien Garden Club's General Meeting - Find out all about DGC and the activities available to our members.

All are welcome, Darien Residency is NOT required.
