We will unpack the intersections of plants, art, and a living canvas. Through the lens of gardens as living sculptures, we will forage the garden for found objects that inspire and illuminate the growing that surrounds us all. We will create a canvas collage that will reflect our living environment. We will explore the lasting beauty of Mother Nature on canvas.
