Mindful botany workshop

Botany- the study of plants.

In this workshop, join community herbalist Finlay in exploring the physiology of plant forms as part of a mindful art activity.

Creating botanical art is a beautiful method of experiencing, noticing and learning about the details and beauty of plants. Observing nature can facilitate us living in the present, being engaged in our environment and helping us feel our connection with nature.

As part of the session, you will learn-

the names for the structure of basic plant parts

the physiology of a flower

how a plant breathes

how to identify common plant families

There will be the opportunity to practice botanical art, with various different mediums including drawing, watercolours, collage, and educational botanical colouring-in sheets made for the session. The activity is to observe, relax and play- no artistic skills or previous experience required!
