Botanical drawing

Find out what’s a weed or winner | 4 Mar-15 Mar | 7 sessions

She’s back! Join Botanical Artist, Nita Clare Lester for this fun hands-on workshop identifying local weed species through drawing. See pressed samples of plants like ginger and passionfruit while flowering and fruiting. Enjoy creating botanical drawings to help understand what to look for in a specimen and in your garden.  

Discover the similarities between species and what plant works where. Find out whether a plant is endemic, an introduced edible, ornamental or weedy one. Take home tips (and art!) to help you on your garden journey. 

Supported by council’s Healthy Places team.

$5 per person. Registration essential. Ages 16 and over.

No refunds unless Libraries cancels the event.
