Botanical Artisan Fair

The Botanical Artisan Fair: A Fall Festival of Garden-Related Arts and Crafts is a celebration of artists and makers whose work is inspired by the natural world. Set in the beauty of the autumn season, the fair features a thoughtfully curated mix of fine art and handcrafted goods—from botanical artwork to functional pieces made from plant-based materials. Meet the artists behind the work and find the right piece for your own home.

Throughout the day, visitors can also enjoy live demonstrations of traditional skills like natural dyeing, and wreath making. These hands-on arts offer a glimpse into the creative process and invite conversation, curiosity, and inspiration. Whether you’re coming to shop, learn, or simply spend time outdoors, the fair offers a simple and meaningful way to experience the beauty of art, craft, and the garden.
