For Gen Zers, who are often used to spending their free time in front of a computer or phone, it would be an extremely useful hobby that connects them to another important aspect of our lives - the connection with nature.

The materials you need to indulge in the botanical art are very accessible, simply because they can be anything - pencils, ink, water or oil paints, pastels, etc. If you are new to painting, plants and flowers are a great place to start. They are relatively easy to portray, it depends on the style you will choose, and besides, they are always a trend in fashion. So, if you get better, you can turn your beautiful fragrant hobby into a source of funds and as people have said you may not need to work a day!

Despite the vast perspective, start with small steps. Professional botanical art can be extremely precise and even scientifically credible. You don't have to go in that direction, but even if that is what you want as the end result, keep in mind that it will take time. Buy a few books on the subject, visit exhibitions and botanical gardens, or simply go for a walk in a park, forest or a field of blooming flowers – all wonderful places for inspiration. You might also find it helpful to watch a few YouTube videos on the subject to see the different styles and options and turn to those that most resonate with your aesthetic.
