Join us in celebrating the publication of I Have This Thing for Flowers, a story of love, marriage, and flowers from writer and gardening enthusiast Alysia Li Ying Sawchyn, in conversation with author and forager Vanessa Hua. In science, art, and mythology, we cannot help but to see flowers as metaphors for the fleeting nature of youth, vitality, and love. It’s easy to casually admire something beautiful, but it takes a discerning eye to appreciate the effort that went into nourishing and tending to that beauty. Come for a discussion about friendships, marriages, and—of course—flowers.
