Botanical Journaling: The Art of Observation
with Sarah Holden, MSU Extension Horticulturist – Missoula County

Join Missoula County Department of Ecology and Extension for a relaxing and inspiring class on botanical journaling—no drawing experience required! This workshop will introduce simple tips and tricks to help you start your own nature journal, with a focus on botanical drawing as a tool for observing the world around you.

Through guided exercises and hands-on practice, you’ll learn how to slow down, look closely, and connect more deeply with the plants and landscapes in your life. Whether you’re a gardener, hiker, or simply curious about the natural world, botanical journaling offers a creative and grounding way to experience nature.

Bring a notebook, and some drawing pencils or a fine tip drawing pen.
