The Peony Girl Workshop at the Royal Hospital Chelsea

The Peony Girl Workshop at the Royal Hospital Chelsea

As you might remember, in May, we visited the Pensioners in the Royal Hospital Chelsea. We brought them joy, fresh flowers, and our May Peony of the Month during the time of the original RHS Chelsea Flower Show. This week, right before the upcoming RHS Chelsea Flower Show, our artist Siyuan went back to the Hospital to host a very special workshop!  

The Peony Girl Workshop at the Royal Hospital Chelsea painting for an auction

During the interactive workshop, Siyuan, the Pensioners and the Hospital staff participated in creating a unique and beautiful painting. 

This painting will be then auctioned to raise funds for the Hospital. We want to give back to the carers who work with the Chelsea Pensioners and keep us all safe during the pandemic. We're counting on you for the auction - it will take place online and in store. Please tell everyone! 

We want to thank each and every one of our participants: Pensioners Monica, Laurie, Tony and Richard, as well as the staff Alex, Catherine and Sue for their time and enthusiasm.

We also had a fun art challenge day! Watch the video from this uplifting and inspiring day below:
