Create a Botanical Journal to document the plants and treasures found in a notable garden or during a memorable trip.
Catherine will share her journal and demonstrate how she creates it. Our day will start with a walk in the Garden to take reference photos. There will be a collection of small botanical subjects in the classroom for you to choose from.
Please Note: The Garden is closed on Tuesdays, we will have limited access to the collection during this class.
CLASS FULL? Email gardenprograms@berkeley.edu to be put on the waitlist.
