Draw Plants Together

Join Craig from Draw Plants Together for a FREE, relaxing plant drawing workshop. Explore the unique plants of the Darebin Creek Valley and learn more about the natural environment through observation and drawing.

Hosted by City of Whittlesea and Darebin Creek Management Committee, Draw Plants Together encourages connections with nature and with each other. This workshop focuses on plants native to the Darebin Creek Valley and offers a supportive space for learning.

What can I expect?

• Fun and relaxed 2-hour creative session held at the Epping Community Activity Centre and along the Hendersons Creek

• A feeling of wellbeing – notice plants more in the company of others and gain confidence with drawing

Draw Plants Together is an inclusive space. Everyone of all ages, backgrounds, sexualities, genders and abilities is welcome. The workshop will be presented with clear and simple instructions to support everyone, including those with limited English.

No experience needed! This is a fun, relaxing way to explore your creativity, learn about nature, and meet new people in the community.

All materials provided. Free to join.
