In this lesson, children will explore the visual and tactile elements of a garden, learn about great artists inspired by nature and make links to their own work, and experiment with line, shape, colour, tone, pattern and texture with a range of materials.

The Royal Horticultural Society is a charity established to share the best in gardening. It aims to enrich everyone’s life through plants, and make the UK a greener and more-beautiful place.
