Garden designer and published author

Hello, I’m Julia.

I love the natural world and being creative. Botanic Makers is about bringing those two things together and providing a space for people to explore the connections between the two. I hope that through the workshops and classes, you are able to find some time to focus, explore nature and connect with others. The experiences I offer are designed to reflect the seasons and what’s occurring in the natural world around us at that time of year. Some courses are more gardening based, whereas others are more on the crafting side. Hopefully there is something for everyone.
