Dig deeper into the world of gardens, nature, and sustainability with Botanica’s newest lunchtime learning experience – Roots in Reason – presented by the PISTILS, an official partner organization of Botanica.

Join us each month as we explore the ideas, research, and stories that shape our gardens and our community. From water stewardship and conservation, horticulture, creativity, and science, Roots in Reason brings leading voices and fresh perspectives to Botanica’s beautiful setting.

Each session features an engaging presentation, followed by a Q&A discussion, offering a chance to connect with fellow garden lovers, professionals, and curious minds.
