Join the Camden Garden Club in a virtual tour of one of the Harvard Museum of Natural History’s most famous treasures, the internationally acclaimed Ware Collection of Blaschka Glass Models of Plants, better known as the “Glass Flowers.” This unique collection was made by Leopold (1822-1895) and Rudolf Blaschka (1857-1939), a father and son team of Czech glass artists. Over fifty years, from 1886 through 1936, the Blaschkas produced 4,300 glass models that represent 780 plant species. 

This event is part of the Camden Garden Club’s 55th Annual Winter Horticulture Series and is open to the public around the world.
