Forest Bathing and Cacao Experience
2026-09-20 09:00 - 10:00 (America/Denver) | Santa Fe Botanical Garden, 715 Camino Lejo, Santa Fe, NM, 87505, United States
Advance Registration Recommended
Join Dr. Marcy for a restorative mindfulness experience that combines forest bathing with a guided cacao tasting. Through mindful walking, sensory awareness, and quiet reflection, participants will deepen their connection to nature while cultivating a sense of quiet reflection.
The experience concludes with a ceremonial cacao tasting. Derived from the seeds of the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao), cacao offers a unique botanical connection between plants, culture, and well-being. Long valued by Indigenous cultures of Central and South America, cacao invites participants to reflect on the many ways plants enrich our lives.

Newman, a Doctor of Oriental Medicine (DOM), has certifications in iRest Yoga Nidra, Caritas Coach, Nurse Coach, and was a VA nurse for over 10 years (mainly doing employee well-being and health promotion). Drawing on her background in acupuncture, holistic coaching, and mindfulness practices, Dr. Marcy creates a welcoming space for relaxation, reflection, and connection with the natural world.

Lunch & Lecture: Brave the Wild River with Melissa L. Sevigny
2026-09-10 12:00 - 15:00 | Christ Church, 1213 Don Gaspar, Santa Fe, NM, 87505, United States
As 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.
Long 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.
The 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.
The 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.

High-Performance, Low-Water Plants for New Mexico with Ross Shrigley
2026-08-21 10:00 - 11:30 | Santa Fe Botanical Garden, 715 Camino Lejo, Santa Fe, NM, 87505, United States
Advance Registration Recommended
In this presentation, Ross Shrigley introduces the Plant Select® philosophy: a rigorous program dedicated to finding, testing, and distributing the most durable and water-wise plants for the Intermountain West.
Ross will discuss plants that move beyond basic “desert landscaping” towards a sophisticated Western Garden Style. This approach celebrates New Mexico’s rugged beauty by pairing sculptural hardscapes, like the garden’s newly set boulders, with resilient plants that demand less water and offer more beauty.
About the Presenter:
A biology graduate of Colorado State University (1994), Ross Shrigley’s horticultural career spans over three decades of hands-on experience; from owning a landscape business to key roles at Denver Botanic Gardens and Fort Collins Wholesale Nursery.
Today, Ross serves as the Executive Director of Plant Select®, a nonprofit collaboration between CSU and Denver Botanic Gardens. He is dedicated to promoting high-performance, water-wise plants that thrive in the unique conditions of the Intermountain West.
