Encyclopedia Botanica Workshop

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | Local artist and Bennington College alum Jessica Smith of BOUNDScollective will offer a botanizing journal workshop afternoon on the grounds of the Stone House and the George Aiken Wildflower Trail at the Bennington Museum, using a historic pressed flower collection from the Bennington Museum, and flora drawings by Robert Frost’s children as inspiration. (Frost took botanizing walks in the woods with friends and family throughout his life.) Participants will receive a notebook as part of the workshop, and materials will be available for beginning their own Encyclopedia Botanica. Tea and scones will also be provided as part of the experience!

See more details in the Facebook event. The workshop begins at the Bennington Museum and ends at the Robert Frost Stone House Museum.
