ADVENTUROUS ARTISTS AT THE LAVENDAR FARM

ADVENTUROUS ARTISTS SKETCHING GROUP

Our next outing is on:
Friday 9th September 10.15 am at NEW FOREST LAVENDER at Landford off the A36 road to Salisbury.
It is around 7 miles from Totton.
http://www.newforestlavender.com/.
New Forest Lavender,
Giles Lane, Landford, SP5 2BG
Tel. 01794 323314
There is a plant nursery, gift shop and tea-room.

After the Shoe Inn look for Giles Lane - the turning for Romwy Power Machinery and New Forest Lavendar on the right-hand side. It is a small country lane and the dark signs are easy to miss. Travel a few hundred yards along the lane and turn into the car park or park carefully in the lane.
Meet at 10.15 am at the entrance to the tea-rooms. I suggest bringing a stool so that you can get the best position to sketch. We will break for refreshments at 11.30 a.m.
