We will exhibit photographs produced during this year's workshop on 2nd September, when the garden is open through the National Gardens Scheme.
I enjoyed working alongside the charity Let’s Grow Preston over the past year to encourage their volunteers and members to explore the gardens in a new way.
In 2022 I ran a series of free workshops exploring how the gardens change in different seasons, and making images for an exhibition on 23rd July. Images of the exhibition are below.
As well as digital photography, I also explored alternative camera-less techniques. Click on the pictures below to see the exhibition images. Images from Caroline, Denise, Gill, Haze, Laura, Louise, Sue and Wendy.
I'd like to thank the staff and volunteers of Let's Grow Preston for all their support.
