Poppy Hill Stairs, Original plein air impressionist watercolor painting by Rhoda Sterling

The rustic, stone staircase leads from English Walled Garden to Conifer Garden Hill alongside Poppy Hill. So many luscious gardens of different plants and styles, so close to one another. One reason I choose Chicago Botanic Garden to paint year round.
