Thursday, August 24, 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm Eastern – The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart: Holly Ringland in Conversation with Sarah Lambert, Online
The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, the international best-selling novel by Holly Ringland, has been adapted into a Prime Video series starring NYBG Trustee Sigourney Weaver starting August 4, 2023.
The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart follows the story of a 9-year-old girl taken to live with her grandmother June (played by Weaver) at Thornfield flower farm, after tragically losing her parents in a mysterious fire. On the flower farm, Alice learns to find solace amongst the native wildflowers and plants that sweep Australia’s breath-taking natural landscape. Family secrets come to light as Alice’s journey unfolds and she is forced to weed her way through her family’s past. In a tale that explores the symbolic language of flowers and indigenous connections to the land, Alice discovers that to move forwards, she needs to unlock the past.
