A lovely trip but probably didn't need to pay the additional cost of a 'session' as you could probably do this yourself.

Excellent knowledgeble staff

We attended the Natural Arts workshop which was well paced, enabling students to think about art beyond the classroom. The photography task, focusing on different compositions using areas of the Arboretum and sculpture task, creating sculptures based on emotions using found natural forms from the Arboretum were particularly engaging, with students producing some great outcomes. The staff leading the workshop were very competent, engaging and made the workshop highly enjoyable for all students.

A really friendly and exciting environment, great activities and group led very well by staff. Prior information from us to the Arboretum had been used well to ensure a relevant session which stayed close to our requirements.
