Longwood Gardens
Packaging 𐄂 Illustration
Elegant and majestic, Longwood Gardens boasts over a thousand acres of lush greens and lavish fountains. In establishing a sense of place, I illustrated the greenery found within the gardens for the gift shop bags. Each bag specifically references a different plant, with an accompanying description of its history and location at the bottom of the bag.
The illustrations were digitally painted with a watercolor look and screen printed on recycled craft paper to reinforce the Garden’s sustainability efforts.
