You do not need to be an artist, scientist, naturalist or have had any experience in Nature Journaling, it’s all about observing nature and recording your observations. We’ll all learn together – from nature and from one another.

The plan for the morning

• Before 9:30: Arrive at Curly Community Garden, introduce yourself and chat
• 9:30: Wendy will give an introductory talk & non-compulsory prompt
• 9:45 to 11:15: 1.5 hours of personal Nature Journaling time
• 11:15: Regroup and share (only show your sketchbook if you want to)
• 11:30: Finish

What to bring

Art supplies: keep it simple - a sketchbook & something to write/draw with: graphite &/or coloured pencils, watercolours etc. Don't go out & purchase specific media, just bring along whatever you have at home.

Personal comfort: something to sit on (a small folding chair, a rug or a towel), a hat, sunscreen & insect repellent
