Creative Nature Exploration
Event description
Creative Nature Exploration: Learn about your local native plants and creatively record what you discover.
You’re invited to switch on your intentional curiosity, explore your creativity and fall in love with our native flora.
Hannah from Wattle + Wonder will be your host, guiding you through a selection of local native plant cuttings and teaching you all about their relationships with other species and the importance of caring for native habitat.
A selection of drawing and art materials will be available for you to creatively record the features of each plant and all the interesting stories you will learn about them.
No drawing skills? No worries!
All that's required is a curious mind and love for nature- this workshop is all about nurturing an appreciation for native plants.
All drawing materials provided.
Please note that this event is aimed at adults. If children wish to attend, they will need to have a concession ticket, must be accompanied by a guardian and be appropriately supervised.
Please bring:
- a water bottle and your lunch (tea & coffee provided). We'll have access to a fridge to keep your lunch cool if needed.
- hat and sunglasses (for a quick wander in their garden space)
Location: We'll be at Gallery Yampu (the old Port Adelaide Sailing Club) overlooking the river in Birkenhead (across the bridge from Port Adelaide). If the weather is nice, we will set up outside under the veranda. However if the forecast is hot, we will shift indoors to the large gallery space.
* We recognise that it has been a tough few years and anyone is welcome to purchase a concession ticket if needed *

It is good that we all acknowledge we are living on Kaurna Country.
