On opening day of Art Blossoms, Dr. John Nelson, curator emeritus for the A.C. Moore Herbarium at UofSC, presents a crash course on plant diversity as well as a basic understanding of how flowers are “put together.” Strengthen that green thumb with an appreciation of the complexity and variety of flowers around us. Grab a beverage from Azalea Coffee Bar before or after the talk. Don’t worry; there’s no quiz! But there are more than 20 floral arrangements in Art Blossoms that you can explore to test your new knowledge. Gallery admission and one beverage from Azalea Coffee Bar included in registration.
