Nature Journaling Club 2025
2025-06-28 10:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Del Ray Artisans Gallery, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, VA, 22301, United States
Practiced by artists and naturalists alike, nature journaling is a centuries-old exercise in refining our powers of observation, appreciation for nature, drawing skills, and mindful presence. This group is open to all experience levels as we meet to sketch, connect, and learn together!
Del Ray Artisans’ Nature Journaling Club meets at 10am in front of Del Ray Artisans on the final Saturday morning of the month (except not in July, November, and December).
Participants will need to bring their own sketchbooks and supplies. We will have plenty of time for sketching in nature before gathering again at 11:30am to share our sketches and observations and discuss tips and tools for nature journaling in the wild. We hope you will join us as we strengthen our art and inquiry practice together!
Suggested supplies: sketchbook, pens, pencils, colored pencils, watercolor pencils, or other portable media, and a water bottle since we will be outdoors. You may also want to bring something to sit on (folding chair or blanket).
NOTE: This program is held outdoors and will be canceled if raining.
This program is FREE! Donations appreciated. For more information, contact the coordinators: Stephanie Darlene Greenwald (stephanie@stephaniedarlene.com) and Meredith D’Amore (meredith.w.damore@gmail.com).

Tea & Herbs with Area 2 Farms (RSVP)
2025-06-28 13:00 - 14:30
Meet Area 2 Farms, the neighborhood organic farm based in Shirlington (less than 3 miles away), at Del Ray Artisans gallery for an afternoon of sensory exploration. Area 2 Farms does more than just grow food for you, they build community around it.
Join us for an immersive journey into the world of herbs—where you’ll explore their origins, benefits, aromas, and flavors. You’ll harvest fresh herbs and blend your own tea to sip and enjoy a relaxed conversation with your farmers.
Whether you’re herb-curious or already tending a garden full, this is your invitation to slow down, connect, and bring a little bit of the farm into your daily rituals.
Space is limited—reserve your spot and experience what it means to sip slowly with your farmers. Note: Registration is through Area 2 Farms.
