My parents were serious gardeners and no wonder as they came from Holland! I was fortunate to grow up with beautiful gardens, so naturally when I had my own place the love of gardening and flowers was passed on. In this workshop I hope to pass on my ethusiasum of botany with many, many samples of flowers, ( wild and domesticated ) to draw and watercolour paint or pencil crayon.
