We are planning a weeding session at the Monkton Park Tiny Forest on Sunday 31st July for an hour, please pop along to find out more or to help out (bring gloves). The saplings need some care for the first 2 years so they get all the nutrients they need to flourish.
The Tiny Forest is a great place for groups and individuals to visit and take part in scientific projects throughout the year.
If you can’t make it but are interested there are details on the sign at the forest and if you do a bit of weeding and leave the weeds the Town Council will collect them.

We’ll then sit down outside (under outside cover according to weather) to finish three-line Japanese-style “haiku”, or other short poems. A hot or cold drink will be included in the ticket price. At all points there will be plenty of one-to-one guidance, from published poets and experienced tutors Alan Summers and Karen Hoy of Call of the Page.
Seasons are important in Japanese poetry. We will be leading a summer, autumn, winter, and spring walking writing workshop. You can book for the first one, a summer ginko, below. Anticipate dragonflies, swans, lily pads, and willow trees.
Date: Saturday August 13th 2022
