I have tried... to paint trees as tho' they were human beings...
because I sincerely love and worship trees and know they are people

St Ann's Hospital

StART drawing group

​St. Ann’s has many rare and unusual trees set in grounds designed to promote health and well-being.  Free observational drawing sessions were run weekly on the grounds of St. Ann’s to learn about nature, history and environment in a relaxed and informal way. 

No drawing experience was needed; go for one hour, join us later or come for the whole session.
​
Please bring your own drawing materials and dress appropriately for being outdoors in any weather.  A folding chair or ground rug may be desirable.

Meeting Place: Chestnuts Café,  St Ann's Rd, London N15 5BN
Location of the day’s drawing activity will be left at Chestnuts Café for latecomers or call 07517 523 395.

In Tottenham seven trees were planted in a ring over 400 years ago for reasons lost in time; the Seven Sisters area and the underground station are named after them. The seven trees have been replanted a number of times, always by seven sisters. 

The Tottenham Trees logo, shown on the right, is a silhouette of the Bruce Castle Oak with the logo of the Charter for Trees, Woods and People launched in November 2017, on the 800th anniversary of the Royal Charter of the Forest.
