A florilegium (latin for “gathering flowers”) is a collection of illustrations that vibrantly document plants from a particular region or botanic garden. NTBG’s Florilegium Society is a group of botanical illustrators and artists gathered by instructor Wendy Hollender of Draw Botanical. The group comes together annually at our Headquarters to illustrate our Garden’s flora. Explore their exquisite work at our 2025 Florilegium Art Show!
For a glimpse into past florilegium works, view a previous year’s exhibit.
