Filling in the Lines: Botanical Sketches and Stories

Member Events | President's Circle

Thursday, March 7, 2024 | 6 p.m.–8 p.m.

To usher in the arrival of magnolia season, we’ll delve into BBG’s history with librarian and archivist Kathy Crosby as she shares stories behind our world-renowned collection of magnolias, and the scientists they are named for.

Plus, roll up your sleeves and join us for an instructor-led lesson in botanical drawing for all experience levels, inspired by the Conservatory Gallery’s art exhibition, Seasonal Work: Art from Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Florilegium Society.

Light refreshments will be served.
