Our 2027 exhibit (April through June) at the New England Botanic Garden has been confirmed and gives our members almost a year to research and paint pieces.
The subject for the exhibit is beneficial pollinator plants, in keeping with the theme of pollinator plants that NEBG is focusing on for their 2027 programs. You may choose any plant that attracts beneficial pollinators, not just the ones grown at NEBG. Ideally, these plants should be native to New England, or able to thrive in New England. Your piece can include the plant’s pollinator if you would like. See below published guides of pollinator plants in the New England area. A formal call for entries will be announced in the fall.
