What is Nature Journaling? What happens when you slow down long enough to really notice the world around you? Nature journaling is a simple, creative practice that combines observation, curiosity, writing, and sketching. It's not about creating perfect drawings or knowing the names of every plant and bird you see. Instead, it's about asking questions, paying attention, and capturing your own experience of nature—whether that's through a quick sketch, a few thoughtful notes, or a page full of wonderings. 

Every journal is unique because it blends what you observe with what you notice, remember, feel, and discover along the way. There are no right or wrong pages—just opportunities to see the natural world with fresh eyes. Join design educator and naturalist Kelly Celeste Porter for an engaging introduction to the practice of nature journaling. You'll discover how this accessible habit can boost creativity, sharpen observation skills, support mental wellbeing, and help you reconnect with the living world (and maybe even take a well-earned break from your phone). 

Then it's your turn. We'll head out into the garden for a relaxed, interactive workshop where you'll try a variety of fun journaling activities designed for complete beginners and seasoned creatives alike. You'll leave with additional prompts, fresh inspiration, and the confidence to continue your nature journaling adventure wherever you happen to be.
