In the Field: Exploring Botany in Mendocino County Opens
January 17, 2024
In the Field: Exploring Botany in Mendocino County is a celebration of the study of unique plants that grow in our region. Building on past exhibit, Carl Purdy: A Passion for Plants, developed by Curator Dot Brovarney, In the Field reflects on the pursuits of Mendocino County Botanists from past to present.
Featured botanists will include Jim McNamee, well known as the proprietor of the McNamee Store in Fish Rock on the Mendocino Coast, Edith Van Allen Murphy, who worked to record and illustrate Native American uses of plants for the U.S. Plant Bureau, and world-renowned “Lily Man of Ukiah,” Carl Purdy.
The exhibit will feature sketches, illustrations, photographs, and pressed specimens, that showcase a passion for learning and observation by a variety of Mendocino County artists, students, and enthusiasts.
