Garden Observation Sketchbook

increase your observation skills through sketching. Taking time to 'stop and stare' is an invaluable part of gardening and observing plants in groups and close up increases our understanding and appreciation of them.
take time to connect with nature, capture a moment in the garden and enjoy the process of observing and documenting the world around you.
suitable for anyone, beginners through to experienced artists. All that is needed is a sketchbook and 2B pencil.
