Arizona Columbine Garden Club


Botanical Arts

Columbine members have enthusiastically embraced the creativity of Botanical Arts.  Botanical Arts is an optional division of Floral Design with members' creations entered at GCA flower shows. The Botanical Arts Committee encourages members to take up the craft of this detailed and intricate technique using only dried plant material to create lifelike motifs. Designs include Botanical Jewelry such as earrings, bracelets, necklaces and rings; Botanical Embellishments that enhance a ready-made object with dried plant material for example decorating a box or an egg; Botanical Couture where a design emulates an item of clothing or other fashion accessory; and Botanical Forms where dried plant material is used to create a design of a natural form like a flower, bird’s nest, bug or an animal.

The Botanical Arts committee has hosted two nationally renowned GCA Botanical Arts award-winning botanical arts speakers, Sarah Boynton and Anne Scott to excite and motivate our members’ creativity for using dried plant material.
