Yoga in the gardens
Start your weekend with a gentle uplifting yoga class in the white space garden at Easton Walled Gardens, led by Laura Jekyll.

Summer Blooms: A Garden Painting Series
Led by botanical artist and illustrator Imogen Joyce, this three part summer workshop series invites participants to slow down, reconnect with nature, and find a moment of calm within the beauty of Easton walled Gardens. Each session blends gentle mindfulness with observational drawing and painting, encouraging people to appreciate the small details in daily life and the natural world. Through accessible watercolour techniques and guided creative exploration, participants will learn how to look closely, breathe deeply, and create artwork inspired by the garden’s seasonal blooms. Session 1: The Art of Noticing , Sunday 7th June 3pm – 5pm This session begins with simple guided meditation techniques focussed on the art of noticing – helping you to slow down, tune into your senses and become fully present in the garden. You will then move on to a detailed drawing and watercolour session around the gardens. Observe closely, explore texture and form, and translate these quiet moments into expressive studies on paper. Session 2: Seasonal Stems, Sunday 2nd August 3pm – 5pm In this session, you will be guided through a mindful exploration of the garden’s midsummer blooms, close observation and a deep appreciation of the forms, textures and rhythms found in each stem. Beginning with gentle warmup exercises and loose watercolour studies, helping to relax into the process and capture the essence of each flower through expressive colour and shape. Techniques will be introduced for building more detailed botanical paintings -exploring structure and layering. Session 3: Stories in bloom Sunday 6th September 3pm – 5pm Starting with a an introduction to folklore, emotional associations, and cultural symbolism of selected late summer flowers. You will be encouraged to reflect on how these stories resonate with their own experiences, and how narrative can shape the way we see and paint the natural world. From this you will complete a series of drawing and watercolour activities that move between expressive sketching and more detailed botanical studies. You’ll explore how line, colour, and compassion can be used to communicate mood, memory and meaning – allowing you to create artwork that feels both personal and connected to the garden. Tickets are £60 for each session. All materials are provided on the day.
Summer Tree Tour
Join Monty Cholmeley, trained woodworker and arboriculturist at The Coffee Room for a welcome drink and pastries before embarking on an exclusive Summer walk around Easton Park looking at the trees that grow there. This is a great time to look at established foliage and flowers, bark patterns and to enjoy the variety of trees that have been planted in the Gardens and Park over the last 300 years. Easton Park is not usually open to the public, so this is a unique opportunity to see the beautiful landscape which surrounds the Gardens. Tickets are £22. We are sorry but dogs are not allowed on the tour.
