Register via New England Botanic Garden’s website
Spend time in the beauty of the New England Botanic Garden savoring the wonder of spring flowers, meadows, woodlands, and gardens, and creating art from your experiences. When you draw closer to nature through art you also draw closer to yourself. You uncover an innate connectedness that is part of being human and being creative.
“We need to remember that we are all created creative and can invent new scenarios as frequently as they are needed.” —Maya Angelou
Engaging our various ways of knowing with, mind, body, and spirit, and incorporating elements of forest bathing and expressive arts, you'll work with simple materials and methods to reflect upon and create from what you are noticing in nature and yourself.
Registration includes all supplies and tools for the workshop. No previous art experience is necessary. All levels are welcome.
