It’s the perfect time of year for this article from Delaware’s Cape Gazette about a workshop on garden journaling:

Kelly Sverduk, a teacher and an artist, says “I used to only keep nice sketchbooks when I went on a trip somewhere, but eventually I realized that I wanted to treat my day-to-day life with the same level of appreciation.”  The process of studying a plant or object and carefully re-creating it feels especially therapeutic in our fast-paced world, she says.
