Description
The newest exhibit in Biscayne National Park’s Dante Fascell Visitor Center Gallery features 26 detailed botanical illustrations of the fruits, nuts and seeds of some of Florida’s native plants. Fruition, created by the Tropical Botanic Artists, is on display daily from 9AM-5PM through June 6. On Sunday, April 18, the park will host a virtual reception for the artists on the park’s Facebook and YouTube pages. The event will feature a gallery walk-through, a few words from each of the artists along with a little about the featured plants, a demonstration of the painstaking techniques the artists use and a short talk by Fairchild Tropic Botanic Garden Conservation Program Manager Jennifer Possley.
