James & Rachel de Candole, founding subscribers to the Transylvania Florilegium, hold occasional classes at home in Copşa Mare.
Classes are led by the world's leading botanical illustrators & limited to just 5 students. You spend a week working on seasonal wild plants you find in the hills hereabouts. Periods of intensive study are balanced with plenty of fresh air, gentle exercise, and good food grown & prepared at home. Everyone stays with us and we all eat together.
During your stay, you may study the Transylvania Florilegium, with over 120 illustrations of local plants drawn by 35 artists, each accompained by the botanist John Akeroyd's text.
