Zoe is particularly fond of printmaking and this exhibition shows her bold use of watercolour and inks where she is drawn towards subtle, earthy colours. She finds etching a very effective way of working in order to capture the different moods of our environment and has been inspired by the early Japanese printmakers.

3rd-5th September, 10am-4pm, Rose Cottage, Shellards Lane, Alveston, BS35 3SY
Jekka’s Herb Farm is a specialist nursery just 10 miles north of Bristol, growing over 600 herb varieties organically for mail order. The farm is usually closed to the public, so Open Days are a great opportunity to browse and buy amongst the scents and senses of some rare and beautiful herb species, meet award winning writer and broadcaster, Jekka McVicar, and attend her (pre-bookable) herb workshops, plus a FREE farm tour.
Certified organic by the Soil Association, the farm is a haven for bees, birds and butterflies. In fact, the UK Government’s own advisors found that plant, insect and bird life is up to 50% greater on organic farms. The September Open Days begin on the first day of the Soil Association Organic Fortnight 2010, promoting organic as an everyday choice, and the Open Days feature an end-of-season herb plant sale – an excellent opportunity to stock up on perennial bargains for autumn planting (the best time in all to plant hardy, perennial herbs).
Seasonal, locally sourced refreshments available. Click below for further details.
