The latest edition of BGCI’s education magazine Roots is now available. Titled Art, Conservation, and Education, it features ten botanic gardens showcasing how they integrate art with conservation and education – from artist in residence programmes to botanical embroidery. We hope these articles will inspire you to use art in your own garden.
