Join Dragon’s Den Books in Arcadia, FL, on Saturday, May 23, for a special hometown event with author and scientist Dr. Cassandra L. Quave as she celebrates her acclaimed book The Plant Hunter.
The event runs from 11am-3pm at Dragon’s Den, 101 W. Oak Street.
Raised right here in Arcadia, Dr. Quave has traveled the globe—by canoe, ATV, mule, airboat, and on foot—from the flooded Amazon to remote Balkan mountaintops in search of medicinal plants that could help combat the growing threat of antibiotic-resistant superbugs.
A leading medical ethnobotanist, Dr. Quave combines cutting-edge science with the wisdom of traditional healers to uncover nature’s potential for the next generation of life-saving medicines.
In The Plant Hunter, she shares not only her groundbreaking research but also her deeply personal journey—overcoming the challenges of being born with multiple skeletal defects and pursuing her passion with resilience and determination.
Don’t miss this inspiring evening of science, storytelling, and hometown pride.
