Gallery Exhibition: Inner Beauty? Paintings of Medicinal Plants by Chelsea Physic Garden Florilegium Society
|
:: Public Programs, Gallery Exhibits, Tours |
|
The Chelsea Physic Garden Florilegium Society was formed in 1995, with the aim of recording the plants growing in the garden. Five years later, in part inspired by Chelsea's model, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Florilegium Society was established; and in 2003, the two societies affiliated. This exhibition comprises watercolors by 45 members and will be a fascinating introduction to one of the world's oldest botanic gardens and many of the UK's best contemporary botanical artists.
