Blackwell Botanicals at The Georges

Head to The Georges in Lexington on Wednesday, October 16 for an afternoon with Anne Blackwell Thompson of Blackwell Botanicals. This renowned Richmond-based artist creates stunning works from botanicals she harvests—from seaweed out of the South Carolina surf to wildflowers from the meadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Anne’s pressed flowers and foliage, all one-of-a-kind, are included in private and corporate collections all over the country. She is the first artist to be featured in The Georges Speaker Series, and following her presentation, guests are invited to stay for complimentary hors d’oeuvres and wine; an optional, 3-course prix fixe dinner follows at 7:00.
