Botanica de Materia Medica

Plants that Heal.

Since 1999, Foundation and Friends of the Botanic Gardens has held an annual botanic art exhibition at the Sydney Gardens. For many of you it has become an annual pilgrimage to enjoy the works and ambience of the Gardens.

The exhibition, Botanica, showcases the truly exceptional and internationally recognised work of Australian botanical artists. At the same time we endeavour to introduce new and emerging artists.

Traditional botanic art is European, usually in watercolour and must be scientifically accurate. This year we are looking at Botanica de Materia Medica - plants that heal - and welcoming both traditional and wider artistic interpretations of this theme and in a broader range of mediums. We hope it will prove to be an interesting experience for you.

The exhibition raises funds supporting the scientific works and infrastructure of the Gardens.
Your support enables the Gardens to protect our unique plant life from an uncertain future and inspires the community to invest in plant conservation.

Please join us for the launch on Friday 28 July, 4PM - 6PM. Follow the link below for more details.
