Rosie and Meriel are co-authors and principal illustrators of the Botanical Illustration Course with the Eden Project which was voted Practical Art Book of the Year 2007.

Their courses and holidays are highly enjoyable, enabling everyone to progress at their own personal speed, regardless of previous experience. Working in tandem means that they are able to devote twice as much one-to-one time to their guests.
