[Aug 29] Nature Journaling at Hidden Villa
Details
Hidden Villa is a historical working farm and nature education spot, which is likely to interest nature journalists of all ages. There is a range of farm animals that you can see, a native plant garden, as well as a children’s garden, and a range of matureoak trees.
Rough agenda:
- Introductions and intentions - meet at the big sign near the Education center
- Mindfulness and sketching warm-up
- Pot luck lunch and sketchbook share
Feel free to stay around to finish drawing after lunch.
Bonus: Nature journal-ers will receive a mini zine with focus points of what to journal about on the property.
Come as you are — no experience needed, just a sense of wonder. We can’t wait to explore with you!
