Intro to Nature Journaling

January 18, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

$45 – $50

Join us for Intro to Nature Journaling with artist and educator Michelle Antonisse on Saturday, January 18 from 1–3pm.

Learn how scientists and artists have used illustrative and descriptive journaling to explore the natural world. We will start with the history, uses, and many styles of this practice.

Then, we will venture outside for a guided journaling session where we will deepen our relationship to plants in the garden through conversation, reflection, sketching, and writing.

Suggested list of supplies will be provided with the confirmation email.

$45 for members, $50 for non-members. Advance registration required, members can register here.

Registration opens to non-members on December 10 at 10am.
