Topic: Exploring Vancouver Naturehoods: An Artist’s Journal (IN PERSON)
Presenter: Vicky Earle
We’re excited to welcome you to the Garden for this in person presentation with natural science and botanical illustrator Vicky Earle.
Did you know that hummingbird tail feathers sing? Or that bees have five eyes? The closer you look at ordinary things, the more extraordinary they become. Seen through the pages of an artist’s sketchbook journal, the fascinating biodiversity in our city comes into view. Join author/illustrator Vicky Earle as she describes the benefits of being in nature alongside a variety of discoveries highlighted in her new book, Exploring Vancouver Naturehoods.
