Flora's Jewels : The Art of the Botanical Book

This exhibition traces the development of the illustrated botanical book from the Renaissance herbal with woodcuts, through the copperplate engravings of the Eighteenth Century to lithography in the Nineteenth Century.

This is a companion to the Temple of Flora exhibition (see below) and is being held at Carrick Hill. The exhibitions are jointly promoted under the title Botanical Riches and are being run in conjunction with the release of the book Botanical Riches : stories of botanical exploration by Richard Aitken, published by Miegunyah Press

Entry to Carrick Hill House is $8:50.

While at Carrick Hill you can walk the Children's Literary Trail which features a Hobbit hole and a Jungle Book safari. Entry to the grounds and the trail is free.
