"The botanical art tradition combines science and art....Botanical artists seek to understand plants' structure and communicate this knowledge to their audience in an aesthetically pleasing manner." (Botanical Art & Artists)

Lee D'Zmura, a longtime teacher of botanical art programs at the Arboretum, and Anna Harding are partnering to establish a botanical art league on the Eastern Shore. The league is open to anyone who has studied botanical drawing or painting at any level and is interested in meeting others who share their interest.

If you are interested in joining the Botanical Art League, email Anna Harding at annagrace2@atlanticbb.net.
