Last chance to see a sublime showcase of botanical art! 🌿

Be immersed in botanical art at this RHS exhibition at Saatchi Gallery

Medicinal desert flowers, forest slime moulds, ornamental bananas... just a few of the fascinating subjects featured in The RHS Botanical Art and Photography Show 2024. This richly varied exhibition — which is supported by Clive Christian Perfume — is on now, and you've got just two weeks left to see it.

Here you'll find brand new work by leading botanical artists and photographers representing the UK, Italy, Portugal, Romania, USA, South Africa, Taiwan, Republic of Korea, Singapore, and Japan. Each piece has been selected for its aesthetic appeal, scientific accuracy and technical skill, with artists competing for a RHS medal (look out for the winners of Best Botanical Artwork, Best Botanical Art Exhibit, Best Portfolio Photography Exhibit, and Judges Special Award).

The RHS Botanical Art and Photography Show 2024 ends its extended run at the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea on 28 July. Tickets start at just £5, and RHS members can see it for free!
