This weekend I set up a display at East Melbourne Library.

It is all about the Community Garden, which is at the back of the Library.

I have my sketchbooks on display open to pages of herbs, vegetables and fruits that I have sketched and are grown in the garden.

It was established in 2018 and run by local volunteers, with support from the Library. More recently they have established a Seedbank, which is included in the display.

I hope to inspire and motivate people to pick up a pencil and connect with their gardens.

We will use examples of plants from the garden. I am not sure if we will sit out there, it will be weather dependent.

I have a watercolour pencil class at East Melbourne Library to coincide with the display. book here.

Drop by and have look!
