At the weekend, we had an adult creative workshop to complement the 'Nurture Through Nature with Children’s Books' exhibition at the Museum of Edinburgh. The exhibition celebrates the natural world in children’s books.
These artworks are adorable with Flower Fairy vibes!

Elizabeth Darling noted the transformative power of play, collaboration & creativity for children in urban green space. But this story of Edinburgh's female-led green social heritage is still little known #naturenurture 💚🌿

[Rina Teske @RinaTeske]

So great to learn about the history of embedding green sanctuaries for children into cities with @_SELCIE_ today. Urban developers, take note!
