A Prickly Affair
Thursday, November 30, 6 to 8 p.m., Duane Reed Gallery, 7513 Forsyth Blvd.
The Garden boasts a magnificent collection of rare and beautiful cacti and succulents, but most are infrequently available for public viewing. Duane Reed Gallery, in conjunction with renowned photographer Michael Eastman, is hosting an opening and auction to benefit the eventual construction of a new Desert House. The exhibit, “Succulent Palladiums,” features large limited-edition palladium prints of cacti and succulents, several of which were photographed in the Garden’s greenhouse. Basic tickets are $25. Tickets at the patron level are $100 and include a signed Eastman poster (a $100 value). For more information or to purchase tickets, call (314) 862-2333.
