Linnaean Libation League

The Linnaean Libation League invites those with an appreciation of beauty and botany to convene at Brooklyn Botanic Garden to:

  • delight in its vast plant collections;
  • toast to the achievements of Linnaeus and his scientific progeny;
  • indulge in a bit of learning about the magnificent world of horticulture.

The League hosts occasional events where members stroll about a specific area of the Garden selected for its seasonal beauty, imbibe inspired libations, and engage in a heady appreciation for plants and their power to enchant.
