We warmly invite you to approach Gardening through Drawing and Drawing through Gardening—a series of free, joyful, creative, restorative and educative events.
The Gardening Drawing Club offers opportunities for adults and children in Britain to explore the relations between arts and horticulture. These free events, held monthly in various locations, provide a platform for workshops, talks, and experiences. By advocating for veganic gardening methods, The Gardening Drawing Club promotes gentleness and compassion while supporting seed sovereignty, racial, climate and land justice and reparation, biodiversity, and animal liberation.
The Gardening Drawing Club's practice is informed by permaculture, deep ecology and natural farming. It is part of the independent artist initiative Poetic Pastel. TGDC is a not-for-profit art project founded in 2021 by artist Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck.
