The Ephemeral Society for Botanical Arts is the membership wing of Blue Craft Farm — a slightly absurd, completely earnest organization for people who make art from nature. Attend classes, spend time on the farm, and earn your place in the ranks. There are badges. There is a banner.

You could be the Distinguished Fellow of 2026.

 The work is serious. The titles are not.

 Membership is earned through participation in any Blue Craft Farm on-farm activity — classes, plein air sessions, or a Farm Share. Show up, make things, and your membership grows.
