CREATIVE sessions in a wildflower meadow are part of a community conservation project to protect the pollinators.
You can try your hand at block printing in a wonderful nature hide at the Altyre Estate, near Forres.
Two hour sessions (each for up to four people) will introduce you to the craft of block printing, capturing the plants and species who make their home in the meadow.
You can print your own tea towel, napkin, or table runner (provided), along with a plantable postcard to bring the meadow flowers to your own home.
The cosy wildflower hide is a small but relaxing space, with a large viewing window onto the meadow. During the session there will be tea, coffee and homebaked cake to enjoy while you print, afterwards you are encouraged to enjoy a stroll through meadow to see the pollinators at work.
This activity is enjoyable for all ages and abilities, although young children will need to be supervised.
Access to the hide is a short walk through the meadow over uneven ground. Strollers can access the meadow but must be left outside the hide itself and unfortunately it is unsuitable for wheelchairs.
Spaces must be reserved in advance as places are limited.
The sessions are on Tuesday, August 1 from 1.00-3.00pm.
The suggested donation is £12.50 per person.
These sessions are Supported by Findhorn Bay Arts Combine to Create programme, which is funded by Creative Scotland as part of Culture Collective Scotland.
