The day begins with quick exercises that help beginners and intermediates gain confidence with the medium and can use when at home or on holiday. The sessions are around building on what you may already know and exploring individual approaches to recording the beautiful garden in front of us.

      Wonderful garden well worth a visit. Great variety of plants showing so many ways of portraying a garden layout. Must comment on the great tea and cakes selection, our dog loved the doggy ice cream!

      Beautifully planted area, in which you are encouraged to walk along paths between the plants so can be completely surrounded by foliage - a lovely effect.
