This juried exhibition features creativity cultivated by the team at Naples Botanical Garden.

The Garden is a Living Canvas—of plants and of people. Our team works together to conserve the plants and habitats of the tropics, cultivate beauty, offer knowledge, and inspire the protection of nature. Working in Conservation, Education, Finance, Horticulture, Natural Resources, and Operations, the exhibiting artists have collectively spent 83 years exploring the Garden’s landscapes, drawing on its endless inspiration to create the works you see today.
