It’s #NationalHempDay, so we’re sharing this illustration by Scottish botanical artist Elizabeth Blackwell (1707-1758) from her book, A Curious Herbal. She wrote of hemp, “The Seed being boil’d in Milk ... is accounted good for old Coughs, and a Specific to cure the Jaundice.”

Excited to announce the artists selected for our 2020 Botanical Artists in Residence program! BAiR 2021 apps open March 30 (https://t.co/oG9wcv52II).

#OnThisDay 109 years ago our founder Rachel Lambert "Bunny" Mellon was born. At a young age she had quite the eye for all things beautiful- whether that be in art, books, or even nature. The legacy that she left behind at Oak Spring will carry on.

Happy Birthday, Bunny Mellon!

This fellowship "has allowed me not only to access a diverse range of resources for my research, but also to interact with a dynamic community of scholars. I developed many new ideas for my project by working with the horticultural collections at Oak Spring.”- @LindsayFWells19

Maria Sibylla Merian's observations of insect metamorphosis changed our understanding of the natural world forever, and her illustrations are as beautiful today as they were 300 years ago. #HerNaturalHistory

#OnceUponaTry: The opiate crisis. The medicinal cannabis debate. Narcotics are common in today's headlines, but have roots in some of our earliest scientific understanding of plants.
