Letters from the Allotment – A partnership project with Converge
Connecting to Nature through Words
Today’s finds….using books for inspiration!
Hello, I hope you have all had a lovely morning. I haven’t got outside for a big walk yet today due to home school and work commitments. However I often use my reference books and art work to connect to nature when I am unable to get outside. Here are some of the books I have been dipping into today…..
I’m now going to start on some nature inspired art…..I will post some pics of what I create next week….
Best wishes,
Emma

When I am not at work I'm on my allotment or at Base Camp (my home) planning new adventures. View more posts
I love your book selection. The Way Marking book is one I look at often and have given to friends as a gift. Paula Dunn’s 2021 calendar was also a popular gift for friends. Another favourite is Park Notes – Sarah Pickstone.described as “an anthology of writing and art inspired by a London park.”
