This week Botanical Art and Artists hit a MAJOR milestone - 500,000 (that's half a million) visitors since the website started in April 2015. I knew it was coming up but I totally missed it!

So if you've not had a look around before - and found the pages below the top level of the site - do please take a look. I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised by the range of content on offer - including: 1) the leading contemporary Botanical Artists and Illustrators on every continent - 2) Botanical Art Societies and Groups around the world - including National & Regional Botanical Art Societies, Florilegium & other groups 3) Pages about the History of Botanical Illustration and Art and famous past masters from different countries 4) Exhibitions, Permanent Collections & Galleries around the world 5) Education & Tuition via classes, courses, and tutors, diplomas and certificates around the world & tips and techniques My original aim was to provide a compendium that would both
