Drawing in the Garden: Herbarium

Practice your drawing skills with a variety of plant subjects at the Garden! Bring your favorite portable medium and explore a new collection or artistic focus each month. Our award-winning artist instructor will start with a demonstration, then answer questions and provide tips and one-on-one attention throughout an unstructured drawing period. We will end by gathering to share our experiences and drawings.
