Sketching at the Boerner Botanical Gardens

Join us for a relaxing afternoon of sketching at the Boerner Botanical Gardens on Saturday, July 19th from 1:00pm to 3:30pm!

"Thousands of plants bring the seasons to life at Boerner, with colorful and fragrant displays laid out in 12 formal gardens. Explore a rose garden, peony garden, and daylily garden, stroll under blossoming crabapples, and enjoy the view while having a light lunch in the cafe or a special holiday brunch in the Garden Room."

"A living museum of woody plants from around the world, the 1000-plus acre Arboretum spans Whitnall Park and stretches along the adjoining Root River Parkway. Trees and shrubs belonging to the Arboretum’s special collections are arranged in groves according to plant family. Both beautiful and educational, the arboretum serves as an outdoor classroom for anyone interested in woody plants."
