FEEDBACK
Nature Diaries Day at Sussex Prairies with Wendy Ann Greenhalgh
A small friendly group gathered at the lush Sussex Prairies nestled in the beautiful South Downs for a day of Nature dairies and collage, with the creative writer Wendy Greenhalgh. Greeted with yet another warm welcome from our hosts Paul and Pauline to truly relax into the day.
Wendy encouraged us to wander and "just be" in this gorgeous naturalist garden. This one day course had an easy and gentle pace. By the end of the day, we had a moleskin notebook filled with our our own personal experiences of the elements, trees, flowers, foliage and sculptures that adorn this special venue in the South Downs.
