A global collaboration representing a unique perspective on the breath-taking Cape fynbos

Telling stories through art

The Grootbos Florilegium brings together over 44 highly acclaimed local and international botanical artists who have a passion for telling stories through art. To create these marvellous art pieces, artists work from live specimens to gain a deep understanding of each plant’s unique anatomical structure before applying their unique drawing skills.
