Put garden in the frame

The Royal Botanic Garden is offering the chance to commission a botanical painting to mark a special event or commemorate a loved one.

The watercolour paintings will be included in a high-quality book to be published in 2013-14 and a framed print of the painting will be supplied to the person who commissions it.

The first set of watercolour paintings to be commissioned will be of Chilean flora. Those who commission a painting will also receive a certificate authenticating the print. For details, see celebratelife.rbge.org.uk/commission-a-painting.
