In this workshop, writers will be encouraged to ground in place. We will cultivate awareness of all five senses in Olbrich&rsquo;s Perennial Garden.

After learning a little bit more about the plants and animals around us, we will write poems inspired by our experiences in the garden. In closing, we will share our work with one another. If participants agree, the artist James Everest will use the poems written during this workshop to inspire the creation of his sound garden.&nbsp; There will also be an opportunity for participants to read their poems live in a poetry walking tour as part of the sound garden event on Saturday Aug 15th at 3pm! Please reach out to mattsky75@gmail.com&nbsp;with questions or interest. No previous experience necessary. Registrants under 16 years of age are to be accompanied by an adult.
