BISCOT 2027
Botanical art and botanical illustrations seek to present a botanically accurate picture of plants.
They have been an important feature in the history of gardening, horticulture and The Caley (Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society since the early years of the society when Patrick Syme a Scottish painter known for his flower painting was appointed as the society’s official painter. It was a particularly important at a time when there was no photography. It is an art form that continues to be much appreciated for its accuracy and detail.
BISCOT – is now inviting applications in both contemporary botanical painting and illustration for an exhibition to be held at Saughton Park, Edinburgh June 2027.
Growing in Scotland is different
Scotland’s weather is changeable, sometimes referred to as four seasons in a day! The temperature is generally lower in Scotland than the rest of the UK, although it is slightly warmer on the West Coast than the East Coast. Lower light levels, lots of rain and wind all contribute to a wide variation of growing conditions across Scotland.
The Caley needs you. Help us grow and continue to support horticulture and gardening in Scotland. Together we can do it.
