Surprises abound about the treats we eat in a new exhibition called Edible Expeditions. It¹s a chance to see food in the wild as visitors take a discovery journey of edible plants from around the world. Arranged in lush demonstration gardens, Edible Expeditions highlights the many delicious products that we enjoy from tropical countries like chocolate, vanilla, coffee, rice and spices galore. Interactive demonstrations help visitors understand how their food goes from vine to dine. And families will enjoy the many hands on Edibilicious activities that allow children to explore tropical roots, fruits, leaves and seeds with their senses.

The exhibit also features a number of pen and ink illustrations that were created by artists studying under Mary L. Harden in the botanical illustration program at the San Francisco Botanical Garden. A reception for the artists will be held May 21 from 5-7 pm and includes a silent auction of drawings to benefit the Conservatory of Flowers.
