Workshop: Botanical illustration at the Orchid Garden, Marechal Carmona Park
For the first semester 2025/2026, the Cultural and Educational Service is launching a new challenge for families with children and young people. Marechal Carmona Park is once again the field of research and observation, and the orchid garden is the place for creation and drawing.
Across generations, families (re)discover together the natural wealth of this green space through botanical illustration.
To guide this new proposal, we have invited illustrator and designer Carolina Salazar, who will lead us in this artistic experience of attentive observation, through the interplay of different forms and shared creation among participants.
