"One of the world's plant paradises that should not be missed by serious botanical artists. And what bliss to be able to offer focused instruction in wildflower depiction in a studio with great natural lighting & the support of a talented botanist."
Margaret Best

"The small class size is ideal.
We could really focus. And the wild flower meadows are stunning!"

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
We guarantee a maximum of 6 students in a class. This is by far the best student-to-tutor ratio of any residential botanical art retreat in Europe today. If you are hoping to join a class for the first time, please tell us about yourself as an artist. We are strictly unable to accommodate non-participating partners and pets of students. A reasonable level of fitness is needed to explore this hilly landscape.
Prices
Our 2026 classes cost EUR 2800.
Our 2027 classes cost EUR 3100 if you sign up before 31 December 2026, thereafter the price goes up to EUR 3250.
These fees cover 30+ hours of tuition over 5 days, accommodation in your own bedroom for 6 nights, full board incl. drinks, Sibiu airport/town centre transfers to and from us provided you are two or more in the transport we arrange for you, and all adventures at dawn and dusk.

Refunds and Cancellations
From January 1, 2026 we shall refund 75% of your deposit if you cancel at least 3 months before the class begins. If you signed up before this date, we shall return 85%.
