SUMMARY:Art in Bloom: Art Nouveau Floral Design
DESCRIPTION:Discover the elegance and beauty of the Art Nouveau movement through floral design. Inspired by the period’s graceful\, flowing lines and celebration of nature\, participants will explore how artists and designers incorporated the organic forms of flowers\, vines\, and garden plants into their work. \nThis class also honors Grace Arents (1848 – 1926)\, whose love of gardening and vision helped shape the legacy of Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. Arents bequeathed her property to become a botanical garden in memory of her uncle\, Lewis Ginter. As we commemorate the centennial of her passing\, we celebrate her passion for horticulture through beautiful floral arrangements created from both garden and florist-grown materials. \nFollowing a brief lecture and discussion on the history and defining characteristics of Art Nouveau\, participants will design a floral arrangement featuring soft\, pastel blooms and natural\, flowing forms that reflect the style’s distinctive aesthetic while paying tribute to Grace Arents’s enduring appreciation for gardens and floral beauty. No prior floral design experience is required. \nFees: Member $79\, Non-Member $98 \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. 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. \n

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 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:Exploring Conifers: Selection\, Planting & Garden Highlights
DESCRIPTION:Discover the beauty\, structure\, and surprising science of conifers in this engaging workshop for home gardeners and plant enthusiasts. Unlike most plants\, conifers are ancient\, non-flowering species that reproduce by cones and rely on wind pollination—adaptations that have helped them thrive for millions of years. We’ll begin with a practical overview of selecting conifers suited to our region\, along with insight into the traits that make them so effective in the landscape—from needle structure to growth habit. A live planting demonstration will cover proper installation techniques and early care for long-term success\, followed by a discussion of maintenance and common challenges. The class concludes with a guided exploration of the garden’s conifer collection\, showcasing how these plants provide year-round structure\, texture\, and visual interest. Participants will take home a curated bundle of fresh conifer clippings\, and a regional conifer guide. \nFees: Member $32\, Non-Member $40 \nAll programs are subject to change.
