Join us celebrating Wattle Day with a nature journaling workshop at Melton Botanic Garden. Through a combination of science, creativity and mindfulness we will explore the details of wattles along the Acacia Walk.
- FREE nature journaling kit for all participants thanks to Melton Library and Learning Hub.
- Joint event with the Friends of Melton Botanic Garden.
Nature journaling is about slowing down, observing something in nature and putting it on the page through drawing, writing, even numbers. No need to be an artist or scientist to experience the joys of nature journaling.
We will wander slowly, spending time with different wattles and capture our experiences on the page. Nature journaling awakens our senses, extends our observation skills and deepens our knowledge, Each session provides opportunities for wonder and connection to nature.
This session is suitable for complete beginners and those experienced. We start with a guided nature-based mindfulness practice, then some warm up techniques before we turn to journaling something of your choosing. Our workshop facilitator Kathleen offers tips, techniques, templates and personalised support as needed. All supplies are provided, including light refreshments. Take home the nature journal pages that you create, with some new skills to be more mindful in your everyday life.
