Nature Journaling Workshop: Early Summer in the Garden

Take a break, slow down, and get curious about the everyday wonder and beauty around you. In this two-session workshop, you will learn the practice of Nature Journaling by collecting and recording your observations, questions, and explanations in a notebook. You do not need to be an artist or a naturalist to begin!

This interactive, two-session workshop includes nature journaling tools and basics while practicing journaling at the wonderful Sanger House Garden. Located in Brewer's Hill, the Sanger House Gardens allows for a rich diversity of plants, insects, birds, and more.

The workshop includes a free Nature Journal to get started!
