Creative Writing in the Garden
Creative Writing at The Italian Garden
This creative writing workshop is an exploration of free writing on the theme of Transitions inspired by a guided walk in the garden. “To look at a thing is very different from seeing a thing.” Oscar Wilde
Explore in your own words your response to the garden. As we ease into autumn, we’ll be paying attention to change… in colours, plants, in the garden itself as it’s restored and revealed. And reflecting on how entering an enclosed garden offers freedom…
Writer, poet and lifelong journaller, Christine Cooke runs writing workshops and retreats and is an active member of local creative writing groups. She also hosts guided literary walks with writing in the wild in the secret coastal valley where she lives. Read more at www.journeywords.co.uk
This is a small group workshop (8 people maximum) to ensure enough tuition time for everyone. No writing experience necessary, come and explore. Bring a notebook, something to write with, and a cushion to sit on. Only 8 places are available so booking is essential.
The garden is actively under restoration and very much a work-in-progress with uncleared areas and uneven paths. You will need to dress appropriately for an outdoor venue, wear good walking shoes or boots and a reasonable level of mobility is needed. Please bring your own refreshments.
There is limited parking at the garden so car sharing where possible is encouraged. Workshops will be cancelled the day before if adverse weather is forecast.
If you would like to support our restoration project, any contribution towards our replanting fund would be very welcome! The garden is a not-for-profit charitable interest company and all profits are reinvested in the restoration and replanting of the garden.
