Taste Wild: Tea Time! Just in time for Mother's Day, we are excited to bring you a delicious spread of desserts and teas for two, that have been lovingly crafted with flavors of California. Join us virtually and taste along as we enjoy these specialty desserts prepared with California native plants and learn about their amazing culinary uses, cultural legacies, and botanical histories. California Botanic Garden has partnered with As You Like It, one of our fabulous caterers at the Garden, and the Chia Café Collective (CCC). CCC is a group of local tribal members and collaborators that honors indigenous people and their vast traditional knowledge and spiritual relationship to the land, as well as the nutritional and medicinal bounty of native plants.

Event registrants will be able to pick up a tasting box of four remarkably unique desserts and two teas made with native plant ingredients. Within the box will be recipes, tasting notes, and instructions for joining us at the Virtual Tea Time via Zoom on Sunday, May 8 from 3 pm - 4 pm.

The Virtual Tea Time will include insightful information from a knowledgeable team of panelists. While we delight in each dessert, you can learn about the cultural relevance and ecological importance of the native plant used as ingredients, as well as how you can grow these plants in your home garden so that you can prepare delicacies yourself from sustainably harvested ingredients!

Pricing: $45 Public | $40 Members

Pickup of bakery boxes will be at California Botanic Garden. We will contact all event registrants and schedule a pickup time on Saturday, May 7 or Sunday, May 8.
