It is widely known, in fact scientifically proven, that spending time in nature improves our wellbeing.


On this fabulous workshop (the first in our new nature journalling series for 2025), you will have the opportunity to explore and be inspired by Queenwood Country Park and Arboretum and experience the glorious sights of spring. The trees will be in full bud, the forest floor will be carpeted in wild flowers and the wildlife will be active. So, there will be an abundance of things to see, experience and explore.


Once the creative juices are flowing, you will then have the opportunity to take part in a fully-instructed watercolour workshop. During the workshop, you will be guided step-by-step in order to create a beautiful bluebell watercolour painting. Due to the expert guidance and support available, this workshop is suitable for all ability levels.
