Join New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Erin Gleeson for an inspiring late afternoon of creativity, conversation, and watercolor painting. She’ll talk about her latest book, The Watercolor Feast, which is all about learning to paint simple fruits, vegetables and edible flowers (for beginners!). As Erin talks about her journey from New York Food photographer turned author, you’ll enjoy a colorful selection of vegetarian recipes from her Forest Feast cookbooks, while sipping wine or a festive garden drink. We’ll then move out onto the palm garden terrace where, guided by the author, guests will learn to paint choosing from an array of flowers and produce. Invite a friend or relative for this special after-hours event and make some time for delicious creativity in the garden!
Program fee includes all-day Garden admission, drinks, bites, a watercolor paint set and the book, The Watercolor Feast, to take home. Have it signed by the author for a lovely gift!
