The Art of Foraging – Fall Sketchbook Series at Bonton Farms

Slow down, step outside, and get to know the wild plants growing all around us. The Art of Foraging is a six-session nature sketchbooking series at Bonton Farms. You'll learn to identify wild edible and medicinal plants found in North Texas and record them in your own illustrated field sketchbook.
The series is taught by muralist and foraging instructor Marissa Caggiano. Each session blends time outdoors exploring the landscape with guided sketching, so you leave with new plant knowledge and a sketchbook to keep. All supplies are included, and no art or foraging experience is needed. Beginners are welcome.
