RESCHEDULED FOR JANUARY 11, 2025
Connect Creatively in the Garden: Make a garden sketchbook and nature journal with the succulents

Join us for a creative morning in community with others making an accordion sketchbook and enjoying the many garden books for you to nature journal from.

Nature journaling is not about making perfect pictures- we encourage messy, imperfect loose and alive sketches of nature, plus written notes and reflections. It’s a was to slow down, notice more, fall into wonder, and reset your nervous system.

You’ll learn easy ways to get started with nature journaling and drawing to see more in nature. We’ll practice drawing in a fun and loose manner, quieting the inner critic to leave more time for enjoying peaceful nature.

Materials to make the sketchbook are provided. Bring a lunch and optional folding chair and journaling supplies.

Melinda Nakagawa is a local naturalist, nature connection mentor who guides people to deepen their relationship with nature through creativity, including nature journaling, in collaboration with nature. She is known for creating a nurturing space for even the most timid to find their ability to express their creativity through sketching and writing.
