Poetry in the Garden: First Day of Spring

Poetry lives everywhere, and everyone has the capacity to express themselves from the heart. In this workshop, participants will read and write poetry together in relationship to the environment.

Celebrate the recent Spring Equinox writing poetry immersed in the bloom of the TPF gardens! Guided through mindful writing exercises around various locations of the grounds, this is a nourishing space to ignite your poetic lens, no experience required!

Participants will receive resources about their favorite native plants. All ages welcome.

Please dress comfortably for walking, sitting and being outdoors , in both shade and sun. Please bring a notebook for writing.

Please email anjali@theodorepayne.org for scholarship tickets.

Anjali Berger is the education manager at TPF , with a background teaching writing to children and adults.
