How Flowers Made our World
Join us for an exclusive evening with bestselling author David George Haskell. Haskell’s latest book, “How Flowers Made our World”, illuminates the creative powers of flowering plants, including their catalytic effects on animal evolution. In celebration of the Garden’s new Super Bloom exhibit, Haskell explores the many ways that flowers build, sustain and animate the living world and human life.
