Come learn about the rich and tasty legacy of Michigan beer in this virtual lecture by author Patti F. Smith. She’ll highlight the history of our state’s brewers, from the pioneers through Prohibition and post-WWII.

Learn how immigrants brought distinctive beer styles from their home countries, as well as about early Detroit brewers, brewing consolidation after the war, and how the industry continues to evolve.

The lecture is part of the ongoing History Hounds series, presented by the Historical Society of Michigan.

Join us for a fun evening to make the perfect Winter Centerpiece. Bring your own container to this event and take home a masterpiece!

Get into the holiday spirit and create your own festive centerpiece using seedheads, berries, branches, and evergreens in this joyful, hands-on experience. Join Executive Director Matthew Ross as he shares tips on plants that can bring natural beauty and joy to your holiday season and table décor.

No experience necessary — this class is perfect for all skill levels and makes a great gift idea for friends or loved ones! Together, we’ll gather inspiration (and materials) from the permanent collection at The Gardens along with a few fresh greens.

Please bring your favorite snips or pruners and a container with a 6–8” opening for your arrangement. Light refreshments and holiday cookies will be provided as you explore your creative side and celebrate the season at The Botanic Garden.
