  New Creative writing workshop at the Botanic Gardens 

  
  New Creative writing workshop at the Botanic Gardens

  Don't miss this opportunity  to join a workshop in the Garden to hone you creative writing skills.

  Launching this spring, Seasonal Garden Poetics is a new creative writing workshop series in the Botanic Garden that invites participants to explore the changing seasons through poetry, prose, and attentive observation. Each session begins with a quiet walk in the garden, gathering colours, textures, scents and sensory details, before moving indoors for guided readings, discussion and creative exercises.

  This supportive and welcoming session, led by award-winning writer Caroline Druitt, is open to all ability levels. The spring workshop, on Saturday 14 March 10:30-12:30, stands alone but also introduces a year-long journey through the seasons, focusing on themes of emergence, renewal and our relationship with place. Participants are welcome to join for spring only or return for future sessions across summer, autumn and winter. These are provisionally booked for 10:30-12:30 on Saturday 13 June and 19 September.
