About the Program

Come explore the gardens from a new perspective in this workshop for everyone — not just artists! Exploring the gardens to develop your curiosity, sharing what you see, think, and wonder, you will use journals collaboratively in an artistic exchange. You will learn about and use tools that artists and writers employ to find, follow, and develop paths of inquiry. While journaling, you will share your thinking processes and work in each other’s journals. You will leave with a journal you have worked on with the whole group. This workshop is for anyone looking to deepen their curiosity and understanding, spark creative thinking, and develop collaboration skills.
