Local artist Caroline Hill, http://www.chillplease.com/, was commissioned for this one-of-a-kind design portraying 15 of our most beloved and colorful native plant species in all of their glory. Caroline, a New Orleans native, is passionate about the natural world and often turns to nature for the subject matter and inspiration for her visual art.  She was perfect for this project!  The design for the shirt not only showcases an intricate and varied collection of our native flora, but includes a directive – Plant Native Plants….lots of them!!! because, as we all know, it takes a wide diversity and large numbers of native plants to successfully support biodiversity. Like all of her work, Caroline took on this project with great enthusiasm and its obvious.  “I have found that you should only take on projects that excite you. It shows in the work.” Each plant species and each word of text was painstakingly rendered separately and then combined into the final composition that you see on the shirt. The back of the shirt has NPI’s name and website and the shape of the Mississippi River that defines where and how we garden here.
