Two artists are currently showing us flowers and plant life in very different ways, but to the same end: drawing our attention to a part of the world around us that we too easily take for granted.

“Botanicalendar”

"Botanicalendar" by Gusta van Dobbenburgh

One is local botanical artist Gusta van Dobbenburgh, whose luminous and elegantly delicate paintings of garden beauties have now been brought together in a fine “Botanicalendar” with Lausanne designer Sue Niewiarowski as the calendar designer. The artist recently had an exhibit at EPFL in Lausanne, “Where art and science meet”.

The calendar sells for CHF25 directly from the artist and it is also on sale for slightly more at the Vullierens Iris Garden gift shop near Morges, which has a spectacular show of several thousand irises on view until 13 June.
