Join us for a special evening featuring cocktails and important conversations about our changing climate! Author Gary Nabhan is a world-renowned ethnobotanist, desert ecologist, and literary naturalist who has written extensively about foods from the Middle East to the Southwest. A winner of the 2024 James Beard Media Award for his book Agave Spirits, Gary will share insights into how crops from the hottest and driest places on Earth have shaped the culinary dishes, recipes, and flavors of traditional desert cultures. Get a taste of some of these bold and flavorful ingredients with appetizers and cocktail tastings, including drink recipes featured in Gary’s newest book, Chile, Clove, and Cardamom: A Gastronomic Journey Into the Fragrances and Flavors of Desert Cuisines. Pricing includes two drink tickets to taste signature cocktails highlighted during the tasting, along with appetizers. Additional drinks will be available for purchase. The night will also include a conversation featuring Gary alongside San Diego Botanic Garden’s President & CEO Ari Novy and Director of Science & Conservation Colin Khoury to discuss how we can learn from desert plants to adapt to climate change, and how botanical gardens can act as hubs for novel ways to integrate plants into climate resilience efforts by communities. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Garden's science, conservation, and education program.
