Botany & Brews
A FRIENDS OF FORD HOUSE EXCLUSIVE
Botany & Brews at Ford House is a Friends-exclusive evening for those who love the natural world and the pleasure of lingering outdoors with a drink in hand.
Led by Kevin Drotos, Ford House’s Landscape and Natural Areas Manager, this guided walk moves through the estate’s gardens and natural areas with a closer look at the plants that shape them. Along the way, guests learn about native species, seasonal transitions, and the thoughtful stewardship that keeps these landscapes thriving year after year.
Following the walk, gather for a craft beer and relaxed conversation. The pace is unhurried, the atmosphere warm, and the setting is hard to beat.
Botany & Brews is both a benefit of your Friendship and a reflection of its impact. Your support helps care for the gardens and natural areas that make Ford House such a special place to explore, season after season.
Space is limited. Comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate layers are recommended.
