Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest is bringing FEMMEnomenal Bluegrass Botanicals, an exhibition by Gabriella Boros celebrating the extraordinary achievements of 10 Kentucky women through the invocation of 10 native Kentucky plants, to the Murray Art Guild (MAG) Community Art Center in Murray. With the support of a 2020 Art Meets Activism grant from the Kentucky Foundation For Women, FEMMEnomenal Bluegrass Botanicals can be seen via a companion exhibit traveling to locations throughout the state in 2021 as well as at its semi-permanent location around the Lake Nevin Loop at Bernheim Forest.

As part of the organization’s Actions Beyond our Borders strategy, Bernheim recognizes that its mission of connecting people with nature extends outside the geographic boundaries of its vast forest and deliberately seeks out opportunities to bring the stories and lessons of nature to people throughout our region and far beyond. Bernheim Arts in Nature Curator Jenny Zeller stated, “We wanted to share the results of this powerful body of work with the region in the hopes of inspiring deep connections to nature while educating the viewer on extraordinary women who have shaped Kentucky’s history.”
