Botanical Workshop & Cocktail Series in Hotel Revival's Garden Room

Spring has sprung and so has the return of Hotel Revival and B.Willow’s plant-themed workshop series “Flora: A Botanical Workshop and Cocktail Series in the Garden Room.” Hotel Revival, a Joie de Vivre hotel located in the heart of Baltimore’s historic Mount Vernon neighborhood, and B.Willow, a retail and workshop organization that serves to provide meaningful, insightful and beneficial ways of experiencing nature on a frequent basis, welcome guests to the hotel’s rooftop Garden Room to enjoy flora-inspired cocktails and learn about nature through this bi-monthly series.  

The series kicks off on Thursday, April 4 at 7:00 p.m. with a workshop on “Flora: Deception and Disguise.” Liz Vayda and Zach Wimberly of B.Willow will educate guests on how plants evolve and fool the world around them in order to enhance their own survival. Guests of the April workshop will take home a potted Stapelia gigantea, also known as a "carrion" plant because it emits a beautiful, pungent flower.  

“Every other month will focus on different rarities within the plant world, from cacti that haven’t been watered in 400 years, to orchids that mimic insects,”  

said Vayda. 

The cost for the workshop is $45 per person, which includes two cocktails and a takeaway. To reserve a spot in the April workshop through Eventbrite, visit  https://bit.ly/2Fk0hts. 

Hotel Revival and B.Willow’s partnership stems back to Hotel Revival’s opening in 2018. The hotel’s Garden Room is embellished with plant life provided by B.Willow. Following the April 4 event, workshops will be held on the first Thursday in June, September and November.
