Cara's Garden Education

Sharing my passion for plants

Your instructor

Cara Cummings

Welcome! I am a fine artist, botanical illustrator, surface designer, educator, and gardener. I am so glad you are here, and I look forward to sharing my passion for plants with you. I have been teaching in-person botanical painting for many years, but when all of my classes were cancelled in 2020, I created an online version of my introduction to botanical painting course. And now that it is here, and I am able to reach people who don't live in my home town, I am excited to expand on my offerings! You can see examples of my work at CarasGarden.com.

Keep me posted!
