Inspired by Karen's love of both creating things AND growing things, this fantastic series is made up of twelve classes, split across the four seasons. The series, which started in March 2025, chronicles and celebrates a year in the garden.
Whether you have an allotment, garden, balcony, or window box, the classes are designed to help you create a lovely visual journal full of drawings, doodles, prints, painting, lists, and lettering. Each month you will add to your sketchbook (using a variety of techniques and building a library of skills) whilst creating a beautiful record of the changing seasons.
Winter is a time of bleak beauty. The trees reveal their skeleton shapes and the garden is stripped of its vibrant colours, replaced with a subtle palette of soft greys, muted browns and deep evergreens, then enlivened with splashes of red and purples from berries and the first hellebores braving the cold.
So, break out your hats and scarves, and embrace the crisp days of winter as we celebrate its stripped back beauty and take inspiration from the hardy plants and first flowers of the season.
