Spend a cosy summer afternoon with The Gardening Drawing Club as we will take you through the basics of growing organic vegetables and herbs, before we paint and draw impressions from these encounters.

Guided by artist Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck, this workshop will help you nurture your skills and confidence in gardening, giving you the basic know-how to start your own horticultural experiments at home.

Johanna will start things off by walking us through the basics of growing organic vegetables and herbs, speaking to seed selection, soil, season, biodiversity, and gardening on a budget. We will also riff off the shapes, colours, and energies we find within plants and seeds to paint and draw our impressions from our encounters.

No gardening experience is necessary – this event is suitable for beginners and the most experienced gardeners alike. All organic seeds, veganic soil, pots, art supplies and plant-based painting materials will be provided!

Note to participants: organic herbal tea will be served to all attendees. To reduce the waste of single-use material, we kindly ask you to bring a cup with you.

We will employ veganic soil with British-grown organic seeds.. Art materials provided in this workshop include plant-based paints.
