Now it's my turn! As I head across America and Canada, I'm taking you with me to check out art outside of our beloved U.K. Things are about to get exciting... 

About a year before I set out to America my Father was on a train back to Blackpool from London and ended up sat next to a young American (song by Bowie) who was travelling alone on his first trip outside of the USA. 

It would be tempting to say that whilst on the bus between Tulsa and Amarillo (Texas) that the bus driver took a wrong turn and had to stop and ask a local “is this the way to Amarillo?”

Back in April we wrote about the winners of the Local Art Yorkshire competition, but where did it all begin for this group and what's happening now?

25 counties are taking part to celebrate their wild native plants through art. Each nation showcasing an exhibition for all to appreciate on the worldwide day of botanical art.
