Noshing in Nature’s Halloween Special: Eye of Newt & Chicory Root
Botany has never tasted so good! In this new series, learn the plants behind your favorite foods and beverages and sample your way through science. This Halloween-themed event will highlight the history and science of sinister potions, murderous plots, and poisonous plants! Learn from a Selby Gardens horticulturist why plants create toxins, the benefits of being poisonous, and why a plant would choose a carnivorous lifestyle. Then, really celebrate Halloween by joining a master mixologist and an executive chef in an open dialogue about global culinary culture. Finally, put your new knowledge into practice by sampling witch-y cocktails featuring a special Chicory Liqueur from Cathead Distillery. And for the frightening food, the chefs at Sage have concocted terrifying recipes crafted from gruesome botanical ingredients. Location: Selby Gardens’ Banyan Tree Patio
