This workshop is part of the Garden Museum’s Branch Out programme, a series of free events and activities exploring gardening, art, floristry, plant science, history, design, and more!
Join us in the garden for a summer’s evening of botanical ink-making and poetry, where we’ll transform plants into natural inks and use them to create expressive drawings and words. Guided by artists and gardeners Romany Taylor and Mattie O’Callaghan from Tend Collective, this hands-on session blends art, nature, and storytelling. It invites you to explore the magic of plant-based colour and poetry
Open to everyone! All materials are provided for and no prior experience in ink making, drawing or poetry required.
About Tend Collective
Tend Collective is run by creative gardeners Romany Taylor and Mattie O’Callaghan, rooted in working with local families to create an edible and ecologically flourishing garden through co-design and co-making processes. Celebrating tending to and mending both our relationships with ourselves, each other and the world, our projects and workshops aim to empower people with skills to garden and create.
Our Branch Out programme has been made possible thanks to funding from Arts Council England.
