Botanical Art and Nature Journaling

Join professional botanical artist Jennifer Duval-Smith at festival garden Riverlea for one of her relaxing and inspiring botanical art workshops for everyone – from beginners to dab hands.

On a mission to connect people back to nature and their own creativity, Jennifer is offering workshops focused on flowers from the spring border, creating your own personal garden sketchbook and capturing a native leaf with confidence.

Jennifer will also explain easy strategies to sketch any plant, teach you to trick your brain into seeing more, and show how to enjoy creating your own nature journal page.

Each workshop provides plenty of scope to follow your own curiosity.
