If you are still looking for the perfect gift for an artist or gardener on your list, why not surprise them with a copy of American Botanical Paintings: Native Plants: of the Mid Atlantic?

The nonprofit organization Botanical Artists for Education & the Environment (BAEE) published the book in 2014. All profits from book sales go to support native plants. In 2016 BAEE issued grants totaling $46,000 to three nonprofit organizations: Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, VA; Earth Sangha, headquartered in Fairfax, VA; and the National Fund, which supports the U.S. Botanic Garden in Washington, DC. You can learn more about BAEE’s grants and activities on our blog.

Read more about this award-winning book on the publisher’s website.
