With plantswoman and poet Alice Willitts, come and write into existence the seeds for sowing your garden. Part spell, part deep dive into specific plants, part poem/essay workshop. Working with anecdote and prose through poetic techniques, this workshop is suitable for all writers.

If you don't have a garden, this workshop will provide an imaginary space to connect with plants.

If you might gift seeds to someone, you could send your poem/essay along too.

If you intend to plant seeds in your own garden, this writing offers an intention to that act of hope.

We can all put a seed in the ground, either in the literal soil or in the land of our minds. Join Alice for some soil love as we think about the ways poetry and planting can redress the damages done to our home planet.

Online workshop, via Zoom.

Tickets: £20 - book here. 20 places available.

Pay what you can options are available and welcome - simply email dialectwriters@gmail.com
