Garden Party at Botanica Floral and Design

Welcome to An Evening at Botanica Floral and Design

We are so thrilled to introduce Emporia's newest floral shop, Botanica Floral and Design, and what better way to celebrate than with good food, beautiful blooms and great company!

This special evening is a collaboration between Botanica Floral and Design owner Liz and Chef Ginger — two creatives coming together to bring you an experience that is equal parts stunning and delicious. Liz opens her gorgeous new shop and Chef Ginger brings her signature magic to the table, quite literally.

Over four thoughtfully crafted courses you will be guided through an intimate, interactive garden party dinner right among the blooms. This is not your average dinner party — you will build your own bouquet of flavor on your plate, layering smoky chargrilled veggies, an orange blossom grain salad and an array of edible petals and infused oils into something as beautiful as it is delicious.

Come for the food, stay for the flowers, and leave with a whole new appreciation for both. This is a ticketed event with very limited seats so grab yours before they are gone!
