Plants & Pints: An Evening of Conversation and Connection
Featuring Keynote Speaker Dr. Barbara Boustead
Author, meteorologist and climatologist
Join us for an evening of conversation and connection at our annual Plants & Pints event on Tuesday, October 28, from 6:30 to 9 p.m., at Glacial Till Cider House & Tasting Room (1419 Silver Street, Ashland). We'll offer complimentary hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. We'll also have a special BIG announcement about NSA that you'll be the first to hear if you attend this event!
This year we are excited to feature author, meteorologist and climatologist Dr. Barbara Boustead as the keynote speaker. Dr. Boustead will talk about her recently published book Wilder Weather: What Laura Ingalls Wilder Teaches Us About Weather, Climate, and Protecting What We Cherish.
Dr. Boustead's research stands in the intersection of weather, climate and Little House on the Prairie author Laura Ingalls Wilder, and she has expertise in both weather data analysis and the deeper stories of the weather in Wilder’s books, homes and life. Her love of weather and of the Little House books both grew from early elementary age and stayed with her throughout her life as she has woven together these seemingly disparate interests. Born in Michigan, Dr. Boustead now lives in Nebraska with her family.
Tickets to Plants & Pints are $25 for NSA members and $30 for non-members. All ticket purchases support NSA's tree planting, garden making and educational outreach work and help make our mission to Plant Nebraska possible -- thank you!
We are offering Dr. Boustead's book Wilder Weather at a discount price of $20 with the purchase of a ticket (retail price: $24.95). Pre-order your book, and we'll have it ready for you at the event for Dr. Boustead to sign (we will also have a very limited quantity of books available for sale at the event).
Doors for the Plants & Pints event open at 6:30 p.m. You are welcome to come early and enjoy dinner or an appetizer in the downstairs bar. Dr. Boustead will speak at 7:30 p.m. and sign books following her presentation.
We look forward to seeing you at Plants & Pints!
