Pearl Bostock

Born in Kent, Pearl initially trained in Fine Art which she subsequently taught for over 20 years. Since obtaining The English Gardening School Botanical Art Diploma with Merit, at The Chelsea Physic Garden, London, Pearl now works portraying her love of nature through art.

Pearl is the founder member and Chairman of the recently formed Florilegium Society at Bedgebury National Pinetum, Goudhurst, Kent, whose status is recognised as the world's most complete collection of temperate conifers.

She works closely with the Curator, Chris Reynolds, documenting the signature trees of this important collection.

The valuable work carried out at Bedgebury on species conservation, makes it unique in the United Kingdom and incredibly important on a global scale for scientific advancement and the understanding of conifers.

She is also a committee member and painter of the Brogdale Art Group, based at The Brogdale National Fruit Collection, Faversham, Kent.

Recent exhibitions include the Exhibition of Scientific Illustration under VII International Symposium on New Floricultural Crops Buenos Aires, Argentina and group exhibition of the Brogdale Art Group.
