Plant List
UCBG has updated the list of over 200 plants to be illustrated check here.
Choosing Plants
Artists need to contact Clare Loughran (loughran@berkeley.edu) and Gina Barretta (gina.barretta@outlook.com) with their choices.
To get a plant cutting, you need to make an appointment a week in advance with Clare, and she will put you in touch with the appropriate horticulturist. This is a good time to make sure the plant you have is correctly labeled. Clare is extremely responsive and will clarify any additional information you would need regarding your plant selection, including which aspects she would like emphasis on in your drawing.
Plants highlighted in yellow have already been reserved.
Plants highlighted in blue have been illustrated and included in the Florilegium.
Plants highlighted in orange are the Garden's Top 40 iconic plants that they would like to see illustrated.
*If you have already reserved a plant, please double check that it is highlighted in yellow.
The piece you submit to the UCBG Florilegium must not be in another florilegium collection.
