Members of the Nature Artists’ Guild of The Morton Arboretum will be making their yearly visit to Orchids by Hausermann on the morning of February 7, 2025.

Each year, Guild artists pack their bags, not with clothes, but with art supplies, as they head north, not to the airport, but to Villa Park, Illinois, to enjoy the warmth, scents, and gorgeous flora, not of a tropical island, but of Orchids by Hausermann, one of the oldest and largest growers of orchids in the midwest.

Nature Artists’ Guild members are invited to sketch, paint, and photograph orchids inside the display area of Hausermann’s 3-acre greenhouse (before it opens to the public) from 7:30 until 10 am on Friday, February 7, 2025. Registration is required for this event by clicking here, or emailing Celia Rodee.
