Seeing it for myself

first hand inspiration is really important to me so I felt like seeing these places in real life.

The plantation Garden is a beautiful place in Norwich very close to where I live. It contains some more exotic plant types and in a big city it was really important for me to get some first hand drawing done as i was struggling with drawing from the internet.
The plantation Garden is quiet and relaxing even though it is in a built up area of norwich. While there i wouldn't know i would in the middle of rows of houses. they keep it well maintained and the plants are a little more unusual that you would find in a normal garden centre.


The urban jungle is not just the title of my project but it is also the name of a cafe and garden centre just outside of norwich. Me and my mum went to have a look around and see what it was all about. The garden centre was such a lovely place with greenhouses filled with more unusual and exotic plants unlike any I have seen in England. The cafe allows you to sit among the plants so I could get some first hand drawing done while eating some cake.
