Every year the Herb Society of America selects a plant of the year. This year the chosen plant is the elderberry bush. Williamsburg botanical artist, Linda Miller, painted this heirloom plant for the 2013 Mid-Atlantic Gathering program.

The elderberry plant is a native of North America. Its flowers and fruits may be used to create jams, syrups, pie and wine. Linda worked from a specimen at The Williamsburg Botanical Garden in Freedom Park.

This month Linda has two print-signing events. The first event will occur this weekend at The Gallery at York Hall on September 14 and 15 from 10 AM – 2 PM. The second signing will occur at The Williamsburg Botanical Garden during their Art in the Garden event and plant sale on Saturday, September 28 (8 AM – 2 PM).

You are invited to celebrate the 2013 Herb of the Year, to see Linda’s original painting and to learn more about botanical art.
