Join us in following what is happening in your garden this spring and summer.

We are creating sketchbook pages to document what is happening in our gardens each month. We will choose plants or trees to follow through the seasons from the height of spring to the warm days of summer, roses, composite flowers, fruit trees bearing fruit, whatever you are seeing in your garden. We will focus on color mixing, try our different colored pencil techniques, and learn a little botany as we go. Learn to look closely at the changes in plant life in your own back yard.
