Botanical arts instructor Derek Norman leads a casual Friday sketch session in the Larkins Classroom or the Magnolia Hill Studio. Garden members get in free, everyone else pays the standard Mobile Botanical Gardens admission, and the garden's own site is not internally consistent about what the military and veteran rate actually is.
