New York Times bestselling author Amy Stewart to present lecture at Mill Creek MetroParks

Author Amy Stewart will present a lecture on her New York Times bestselling book The Drunken Botanist: The Plants That Create the World’s Great Drinks on Thursday, May 1 at 7 p.m. at Fellows Riverside Gardens. In her lecture, Stewart will explore the dizzying array of plants that humans have, through ingenuity, inspiration, and sheer desperation, contrived to transform into alcohol. Stewart will provide an intoxicating perspective on the leaves, bark, seeds, roots, flowers, and fruit imbibed around the world. It’s the compelling mixture of history, science, literature and humor that she is known for.

Meet Amy Stewart and enjoy appetizers, wine, beer, and botanical cocktail samples at a pre-lecture reception at 6 p.m. Tickets for the reception and lecture together are $38; or for Friends of Fellows Riverside Gardens members, $30. Tickets for lecture only are $25; or for Friends of Fellows Riverside Gardens members, $20. This lecture is presented with support from the John S. and Doris M.
