SUMMARY:Lunch & Lecture: Brave the Wild River with Melissa L. Sevigny
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS ON SALE SOON! \nAs part of the Santa Fe Botanical Garden’s Plants and People Program\, join us for a special Lunch & Lecture with award-winning science writer and author Melissa L. Sevigny\, whose acclaimed book Brave the Wild River tells the remarkable true story of botanists Elzada Clover and Lois Jotter and their groundbreaking 1938 expedition through the Grand Canyon. \nLong before women were widely accepted in scientific fieldwork\, Clover and Jotter embarked on a daring 43-day journey down one of the world’s most dangerous rivers to document the canyon’s plant life. Their expedition resulted in the collection of hundreds of plant specimens\, the discovery of previously unknown cactus species\, and one of the first comprehensive botanical inventories of the Grand Canyon—yet their scientific contributions were largely overlooked for decades. \nThe Plants and People Program explores the many facets and complex relationships between plants and people\, and Brave the Wild River offers a compelling example of how botanical exploration\, scientific discovery\, conservation\, and human perseverance intersect in the landscapes of the American Southwest. \nThe program begins with a delicious catered buffet lunch\, with options to accommodate a variety of dietary preferences. Following lunch\, guests move into the theater for Melissa’s presentation and audience Q&A. A book signing with the author will follow the program. \nDate and Time \n\nSeptember 10\, 2026\n12:00pm – 3:00pm\n\nLocation \nChrist Church Auditorium\, 1213 Don Gaspar\, Santa Fe \nPricing \nPurchasing the book in advance with your ticket is strongly encouraged.
