Lecture: Marta McDowell - Cultivation and Canvases: Gardening and American Impressionism

Join New York Botanical Garden instructor and historian Marta McDowell for this engaging lecture. At the turn of the 20th century, cultivating flowers came into fashion. Enter a group of painters who stepped into the garden for inspiration and subject matter. Join us as we explore how landscape history, horticulture, and art converged in the vibrant movement we now call American Impressionism.
