Nelumbo nucifera by Mignon Atkinson

19th Annual Art Exhibition of the Friends' Botanic Art Group

You are invited to the Members’ Preview of the 19th Annual Art Exhibition by the Friends Botanic Art Group.

It will be held from 2pm to 4pm Thursday 9 April 2026 in the ANBG Visitor Centre.

The exhibition, entitled Wetlands, will be in the Visitor Centre Gallery and will be open to the public from 10 April to 3 May 2025, from 9.30am to 4.30pm.

It features artworks of native flora, with a special focus on wetland plants and habitats. The works are in a variety of media from the more traditional watercolour to linocuts and scratchboard.

The Friends love and support our beautiful Gardens – the world’s largest collection of Australian native plants.

Through our programs of talks, visits and social activities, our members and visitors meet, learn, grow and enjoy the riches of this very special place. Our special-interest groups are inspired by its unique artistic and scientific opportunities.

Since 1990 we have donated around $2 million for projects in the Gardens, and members actively contribute to its horticultural, educational and research programs as volunteers.
