All you will need to take part is:

  • Something to draw FROM (this could be a photo you have found online of your favourite plant, a branch, leaf, or weed that you鈥檝e picked from your local park, or a trusty houseplant)
  • Something to draw ON (paper, a notebook, cardboard, etc.)
  • Something to draw WITH (pencils, biros, felt tips, highlighters, paints etc.)
