ART OF THE FLOWER AND GARDEN: Natural History Competition 2019

3 October to 10 November

Launch Saturday 5 October at 5.30pm

Art of the Flower and Garden is a much-loved event running since the gallery’s inception in 1996. The theme has been widened over the years from “flower” to “flower and garden”, and now to “natural history”, taking direction from the SA Museum’s famous Waterhouse Prize.
