A Love Letter to Trees

Join Rachel and Guy Petheram for a beautiful workshop celebrating our connection to, and the beauty of, trees.


As a floral artist, Rachel Petheram of Catkin Flowers, grows flowers and natural materials to help express her relationship with nature and the seasons. Guy Petheram is a garden designer with a huge affinity for trees and he leads tree walks at Doddington Hall, RHS Harlow Carr and Sheffield Botanical Gardens.

Guy and Rachel will lead a session in the gardens at Doddington Hall, where Guy will tell you about our connection to trees and their role in our history and culture and Rachel will guide you in a sylvotherapy session, where the therapeutic nature of trees will help you to relax and connect with nature.

We will use the trees for artistic expression, using mulberry paper and charcoal to create beautiful, unique bark rubbings, which will capture the essence of the trees in the garden at Doddington Hall.

The workshop is held in Rachel’s studio in the walled Kitchen Garden at Doddington Hall.

Please make sure you wear clothes and shoes suitable for the outdoors. Hot drinks, lunch and all materials are provided.
