ArtPlantae celebrates plants, botanical art and community with the launch of
Let’s Explore Plants this Spring, a new program that will be taught at Aurea Vista, a community gathering place featuring the creative works of local artists, designers, craftspeople, importers and specialty food merchants located in historic downtown Riverside.
