Here’s your chance to purchase a brilliant piece of art inspired by the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney

A spectacular exhibition featuring over 3,000 artworks is coming to the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney this spring.

Running over nine days from October 29 to November 6, 10am-4pm, Artisans in the Gardens’ 21st anniversary exhibition will showcase pieces by over 40 artists. It will be held at the Lion Gate Lodge, an 1878 Victorian sandstone building with a pretty cottage garden.

The exhibition will feature sculpture, ceramics, jewellery, embroidery, weaving, textiles and more, and you can expect to see art by some of the country’s most esteemed creatives.

Entry is free and all works of art are for sale, starting from $20 and up to $20,000. So you can nab your very own piece of the gardens to display in your home!

Highlights include Maria Fernanda Cardoso’s series of six carved sandstone rocks reflecting her recent work installed at the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan; Isabella Edwards’ painted ceramic vessels based on memory and space; and Denise Oates’ outdoor works created with copper and reflecting natural themes.

Plus, you can stroll over to Growing Friends Plant Sales where you’re able to purchase native and rare plants propagated from the Garden's living collection. 

Artisans in the Gardens is presented by Foundation & Friends, a not-for-profit organisation where all proceeds go towards supporting and protecting the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, the Domain, the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan and the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden Mount Tomah.
