A lovely day of art, nature and inspiration at Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park.
Residents enjoyed a special outing with our wonderfully talented art teacher, Georgiana, taking part in a life-painting session surrounded by the beautiful flowers, blossoms and peaceful woodland.
Isabella Plantation has a fascinating history, dating back to the 1830s, when the woodland was enclosed and planted with oak, beech and sweet chestnut trees. It opened to the public in 1953 and has since become one of Richmond Park’s most treasured spots, particularly known for its spectacular azaleas, rhododendrons, winding streams and tranquil ponds. It is a wonderful place to appreciate the changing seasons and the beauty of nature.
With so much natural beauty around, it was the perfect setting for our residents to pick up their paintbrushes and capture the scenery on canvas. With Georgiana offering guidance and encouragement, everyone could take inspiration from the colours, shapes and delicate details of the flowers, adding their own personal touch to their artwork.
Thank you Georgiana for making our excursion extra special and being such an important memeber of the Sherwood Grange community x
