Plants first! with Sarah Price

A day looking at how plants grow in the wild and how our observations can work towards how to put plants together in the garden. Sarah Price’s training in Fine Art leads her to take a very different view to creating gardens to many other designers, an approach which she shares with us through presentations and some creative exercises. Participants were taken out to into the garden and encouraged to analyse plant relationships through observation. Some basic drawing exercises followed to encourage participants to appreciate plant form and an exercise with cut-outs to create a ‘virtual garden’ in the classroom.

Recorded at the Horniman Museum, London, October 2021.
