SUMMARY:Beginner Koryu Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:Ikebana is the traditional Japanese art of flower arranging in which seasonal flowers\, branches\, and grasses are thoughtfully arranged in vases using established techniques and artistic principles. More than simply creating beautiful displays\, ikebana expresses the harmony between nature and humanity. A key feature of its design is the use of three main branches\, which form the foundation of each arrangement and symbolize balance and connection. \nIn this class\, students will learn the fundamentals of free style ikebana through the Koryu School\, a distinguished tradition with more than 250 years of history in Japan. Participants will explore basic techniques\, design principles\, and the aesthetic philosophy of ikebana while creating their own unique arrangements. \n\nFees: Member $55\, Non-Member $69 \nAll programs are subject to change. Pre-registration through our website is required. \nLewis Ginter Botanical Garden strives to be a Garden for all and we are committed to offering diverse adult learning opportunities that are inclusive and accessible to all learners.

SUMMARY:Art in Bloom: Art Nouveau Floral Design

SUMMARY:Seeing Color
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit is inspired by individuals with color vision deficiencies. Seeing Color explores the relationships between colors and textures. This series offers an exploratory experience for all\, with a focus on people who live with colorblindness. Color plays a significant role in the natural world signaling change\, providing protection\, and evoking attraction. Curiosity arises when we contemplate infinite personal experiences of being in nature. We can observe the same specimen and see it differently. Beneath the surface of these works\, viewers are presented with an opportunity to consider how they see color while sitting with the fact that not all color is seen equally. What we see is unique to our physical abilities\, involuntary bodily functions\, perception\, and our combined senses. While we are connected by our shared habitats\, how they are experienced and perceived is individual. Please take a moment to experience Beth Anne Booth’s inspired artwork in the Robin’s Visitor Center Gallery this October.

SUMMARY:Botanical Drawing II: Shading & Structure
DESCRIPTION:You’ve built a strong foundation in Botanical Drawing I\, learning to see\, structure\, and create form using only line. Now\, it’s time to expand your understanding of depth and dimension by exploring light\, shadow\, and value. \nThis course takes the next step in your artistic journey\, sharpening your ability to see subtle shifts in light and shadow while deepening your focus and observational skills. Using graphite\, you’ll explore grayscale rendering and value mapping\, learning to blend smooth transitions between highlights\, midtones\, and shadows\, resulting in refined\, visually rich botanical drawings that convey structure and realism. \nNature remains our greatest teacher. Together\, we’ll observe how light sculpts botanical forms\, sketch directly from life\, and refine our understanding of contrast. You’ll create a personal value finder\, experiment with artistic tools\, and gain confidence in shading in a supportive\, engaging environment where curiosity and practice make learning fun. \nNow that you’ve learned to build form with line alone\, you’ll be adding another layer of understanding with expert guidance and feedback along the way. \nLet’s keep growing — one line\, one shadow\, one discovery at a time! \nLewis Ginter Botanical Garden strives to be a Garden for all and we are committed to offering diverse adult learning opportunities that are inclusive and accessible to all learners. If you would like to request an accommodation to support your participation in an adult learning opportunity at the Garden\, please contact registrar@lewisginter.org or call 804-262-9887 x328 and we will make our best effort to help.

SUMMARY:Plant\, Design & Grow: Fall Container Garden Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Create a professionally designed fall container in this hands-on planting workshop\, perfect for gardeners of all skill levels. Each participant will build a custom seasonal arrangement using a curated selection of fall plants chosen for color\, texture\, and longevity. To simplify the process and ensure consistent results\, all designs will be created in a standard-sized planting sleeve (fits a 12.5” ceramic container). This allows for easy transport and a seamless drop-in fit once you return home. Participants are encouraged to bring measurements and photos of their containers to ensure compatibility. We’ll begin with a brief overview of container design principles\, including plant combinations\, spacing\, and how to create balanced\, eye-catching arrangements for the fall season. From there\, you’ll be guided step-by-step as you plant your own container insert using provided soil\, fertilizer\, and high-quality plant material. You’ll leave with a finished arrangement ready to drop into your favorite pot—making it easy to refresh your porch or garden with minimal effort. \nFees: Member $72\, Non-Member $90 \nAll programs are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Plant Identification: Tools and Techniques for Identifying Native and Naturalized Plants in the Mid-Atlantic Region
DESCRIPTION:This course provides an in-depth overview of the tools and techniques used by botanists to identify plants to the species level\, with a strong emphasis on family characteristics. Attendees will learn how to use the diversity of resources available – including field guides\, apps\, AI\, and technical manuals – to answer the question: “What is that species?” More importantly\, they will learn how to use dichotomous keys to verify their identifications – the most critical step in plant ID. With this class\, you will learn not only how to get an answer\, but also how to know that you got it right! An important focus of the course will be on empowering attendees to “dismantle” the seemingly endless complex of scientific terminology surrounding plant identification. This course takes the place of “Intermediate Botany” in the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden catalog of course offerings. \nFees: Member: $183\, Non-Member: $229 \nAll programs are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Native Plants for Beginners
DESCRIPTION:Learn the basics of including native perennial plants in your home garden. Join instructor Kaity Bevenour\, native plant specialist & owner of Parallel Nursery\, for an introduction to the ornamental & environmental benefits of commonly available Virginia native plants. Participants will get an overview of a variety of native perennial species suitable for garden use\, including different flowers\, grasses\, and sedges.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Mystery of Bird Migration
DESCRIPTION:What is Migration? Why do birds migrate? Where do they go? How do they know how to get there? Some birds fly nearly 2500 miles nonstop to their winter homes!

SUMMARY:Botany for Botanical Illustration: Fungi
DESCRIPTION:Although no longer considered formally to be members of the plant kingdom\, fungi make fascinating subjects for botanical illustrators. The class opens with a session to help you understand the structure of these distinctive organisms through lecture and observation under the guidance of botanist John Hayden. Descriptive morphological terms and scientific names are discussed and used. The illustration session\, coordinated by Sheila Hayden\, is devoted to graphite illustrations of fungi related to the morning’s discussion. Emphasis is placed on observation\, accurate representation of details\, and labeling. \nA supply list will be provided – scroll down for details. \nPrerequisite: Introduction to Botanical Drawing II \nFees: Member $162\, Non-Member $203 \nLewis Ginter Botanical Garden strives to be a Garden for all and we are committed to offering diverse adult learning opportunities that are inclusive and accessible to all learners.
