HOW FLOWERS MADE OUR WORLD

Join us for a very special evening in the Redwood Grove with two-time Pulitzer Finalist David George Haskell in conversation with KQED radio host Alexis Madrigal as they explore the fascinating revelations in Haskell’s just released book How Flowers Made Our World: The Story of Nature’s Revolutionaries. In his book, acclaimed writer and biologist Haskell provides an astonishing new perspective on the history of life on this planet??"with flowers setting a new course for Earth beginning some 200 million years ago??"and reveals their foundational role in humanity’s future.

Ticket includes pre-talk admission to the UC Botanical Garden at Berkeley, a living-museum and one of the most plant-diverse places on the planet. The talk will take place in our historic outdoor amphitheater.
