When spring reaches its breath-taking peak, Hartvale Gardens and Kanimbla Park, both located in the beautiful Seven Valleys west of Sydney, explode into a magnificent palette of vibrant flowers & rich textures, offering an absolute paradise for artists of all kinds.

Hartvale Gardens' rural buildings & views have already captured the national spotlight having been featured on Gardening Australia & Better Homes & Gardens TV shows. Not just vibrantly coloured gardens, Hartvale offers sweeping, dramatic views of the surrounding valley & mountain vistas enabling artists to track the shifting dynamics of natural light that culminates in the wonderful amber glow of later afternoon.

Nestled against the stunning backdrop of the Blackheath escarpment, the private garden of Kanimbla Park features beautifully established gardens filled with sculptures, unusual objects, hidden corners & ever-changing light. Whether you enjoy painting landscapes, botanical studies, sculpture, mixed media or simply sketching in a beautiful setting, you'll find endless inspiration throughout the property.

Gather your easel, paints or sketchbook & spend the day immersed in nature, surrounded by magnificent views, bird song and fresh mountain air. There is plenty of space to spread out, work at your own pace, enjoy demonstrations and share the experience with fellow artists.

Please do bring your own lunch. Complimentary Tea & Coffee will be available throughout the day.
