Join me at the Atlanta Science Festival!

In partnership with Emory University, A Capella Books, & the Carter Presidential Library, I'll be speaking about plant hunting adventures & leading a tea blending activity! Book signing to follow!

Me on expedition in Kosovo this summer. I found a beautiful endemic lily (Lilium albanicum) on my hike near the summit of Pastrik mountain!

I’m so excited to be participating in the annual Atlanta Science Festival! This 15-day event runs from March 10-25, 2023 and features 150 events across Atlanta and one big party at Piedmont park! I’m thrilled to partner with Emory University, A Capella Books, and the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library to offer a fun evening of storytelling from my plant hunting expeditions, book sales and signings of The Plant Hunter: A Scientist’s Quest for Nature’s Next Medicines, and a flavorful herbal tea blending activity!

Praise for The Plant Hunter

Readers who pick up The Plant Hunter with the idea of a traditional, staid monograph detailing flora around the world will encounter a biography of love, loss and discovery that is most emphatically not traditional or staid. . . .Quave’s storytelling is quite simply refreshing.

—Nature Plants

Cassandra Quave takes us on a fascinating and deeply personal journey to seek out modern medicines from the botanical world. As a scientist she is scrappy and tenacious, and as a writer she is eloquent and disarmingly honest. Fans of Hope Jahren’s Lab Girl will devour this engrossing narrative about Quave’s quest for the next cure.

­—Amy Stewart, bestselling author of The Drunken Botanist

[A] spirited, globe-trotting debut . . . Nature-minded readers will find themselves immersed in—and inspired by—Quave’s poignant tale.”

—Publishers Weekly

Cassandra Quave is a woman with incredible grit and courage.

—Temple Grandin, bestselling author of Thinking in Pictures
