4 October, 10am – 1pm
On this workshop, writer and counsellor Polly Roberts will use the gardens as inspiration to share some rainy day writing exercises to uncover some seeds of ideas for winter warming. Autumn is the perfect time for turning inward and reflecting on what has been growing and what may be to come. Together through words, we will find moments of stillness, observation, and beauty to fill our cups before the darker winter months.
