Description
Every poem starts with noticing something. Growing Poetry is about paying attention to what’s happening in the garden.Part scavenger hunt, part writing workshop, we’ll start by hunting for clues in the garden (e.g. the smallest thing you can find, something that’s green...) and then we’ll be using what we find to write our own poems. This workshop is about having fun with words and using nature to help us.
Participants will have the opportunity to perform their work at The Hithe Garden Party on 1st June.
