Study a selection of fabulous BBG trees on Wednesdays, May 1 through 29, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., with Pat Hogan. On day one, kitted out with sketchbooks and cameras, and with the guidance of an arborist, participants will traverse the Garden learning to identify trees by habitat, shape, bark, leaves, etc. Back in the studio, the sketches and notes will inspire radiant paintings celebrating trees!

Pat Hogan’s work is inspired by nature, particularly the Berkshires, the Maine Coast and the vanishing islands of the Chesapeake Bay. Each unique landscape provides a stunning connection with the beauty of our earth and wildlife and the chaos associated with climate change and human disregard for sustaining a healthy planet.
