An intimate group came together Nov. 21 at Michael’s on the Bay at Selby Gardens to listen to a lecture by Bruce Holst, director of botany, and Jeannie Perales, director of education and visitor engagement. The talk gave attendees special insight into the world of botanical art and how the Selby team put together the Selby’s Secret Garden exhibit on Victorian-era botanical tools.
