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 2026 Florilegium Art Show!
This year’s exhibit will run from March 13 through May 2 at our Lāwaʻi Gardens Visitor Center. The show is free and open to the public during regular Visitor Center hours (Tuesdays – Saturdays, 9 am – 4 pm).
Join us for the opening reception of the 2026 Florilegium Art Show on Friday, March 13!
The reception is free and open to the public with no registration required. Mingle with the artists and be among the first to view this year’s exhibition. Light refreshments will be served and a cash bar will be available.
For a glimpse into past florilegium works, view a previous year’s exhibit.
