Nature Journaling Workshop
Date: 2026-08-15T10:00
Description: Make the perfect nature journal and fill it! We begin by constructing our own journals with various papers made for painting, sketching, or writing and sections to hold field samples. The hardcover binding allows pages to be inserted or removed and lies flat when open. In the afternoon, we will learn Nature Journaling techniques to help you improve your observational and drawing skills and deepen your knowledge of your subjects. On day two, you will learn basic watercolor or watercolor pencil techniques and then try out your new skills around the Gardens. The Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens is the perfect setting to begin this journey. We will learn about the structures of plants, observe their environments, and examine their relationships with other living things. There will be many handouts and models, layout and lettering samples, and journaling styles. Your nature journaling journey does not end here. Upon completing this workshop, you are invited to join our Nature Journaling Club, which gathers in the Gardens on the third Friday of each month to observe, create, and connect. Please see website for info on registration & materials.
