Tell It To The Trees - Nature-Journalling Walk

In the beautiful setting of Pinces Gardens in St Thomas, Exeter, Dr Sarah Spencer will introduce ways artists have historically responded to trees, and will guide you through a sensory exploration of the gardens, introducing nature-journalling techniques to foster connection to the natural world, drawing on close observation to inspire creative responses.
