The Reed-Turner Botanical Artists is a group affiliated with the American Society of Botanical Artists (ASBA).  The Circle also maintains an ongoing relationship with the Chicago Botanic Garden.

Consistent with ASBA goals, members of the Reed-Turner Botanical Artists work to further the interests of botanical art, conservation, science, botany, education, and horticulture at the local level.   By promoting and exhibiting their art  locally and regionally, the group strives to highlight the beauty and importance of plants.
