Description
Participants will begin with a guided Wonder Walk through the garden. Each person will receive a unique Wonder Card with a reflective theme to guide what they notice throughout the walk. Rather than searching for specific objects, they'll be encouraged to observe the garden through a different lens as they notice colors, textures, patterns, light and the details that naturally draw their attention.
After the walk, we'll gather to create an original acrylic painting inspired by what stood out to each participant.
This isn't a traditional painting class. It's a Creative Wellness Experience centered on observation, curiosity, creativity and personal expression. Every painting will be unique because every participant experiences the garden differently.
No artistic experience is necessary and all materials will be provided.

Hi, I'm Desiree, founder of Root & Bloom.
Life gets busy. We spend so much time taking care of responsibilities, checking off to-do lists and moving from one thing to the next that it's easy to forget to make time for ourselves. I wanted to create a reason to slow down.
Root & Bloom's Creative Wellness Workshops bring people together to paint, create, garden, explore nature and enjoy hands-on experiences that spark creativity, conversation and connection. Every workshop is a little different, but the goal is always the same: to spend a couple of hours making something, meeting new people and leaving a little more refreshed than when you arrived.
Beyond workshops, I also work one-on-one with clients through gardening, home organization and practical wellness support ~ helping people create spaces, routines and everyday habits that feel healthier, more manageable and more enjoyable.
I hope you'll join me at an upcoming workshop. I'd love to create something with you.
