I recently returned from a trip to Trinidad and Tobego to work on a collection of tropical botanical illustrations. I am intrigued by tropical plants,the foods, herbal remedies, and exotic beauty we get from these plants of the Rain Forest.
After years of sketching on vacation in a warm climate, I found an ideal setting for a Botanical Workshop in the Rain Forest.
Imagine having lush flowering and fruiting plants at your fingertips, yet still have the comfort of a comfortable roof over your head and delicious local food served at each meal. It’s a way to work intensely on drawing and studying tropical plants, and experience the natural beauty of the Rain Forest in a relaxed manner. The staff at Asa Right Nature Center is friendly, knowledgeable, and the food prepared in the kitchen is delicious. Each day starts with coffee and tea on the veranda at 6am for those wanting to get a look at the morning birds, breakfast at 7:30am, lunch at noon, tea at 3pm, rum punch at 6pm and dinner at 7pm. In between we work, hike, and swim. We will also spend two nights at the beautiful Blue Waters Inn on Tobega to draw the beach flora and snorkel in some of the worlds best snorkeling. The natural reef on Tobago is literally a botanical garden underwater!
