About the event
Use Chelsea Physic Garden in autumn as the setting and inspiration for creating new folklore.
Part of the Garden’s Folklore ReRooted programme, this full-day creative writing workshop explores gathering, harvest, decay and memory as the Garden moves towards the darker half of the year.
Led by professional storyteller Helen Haxell-White, the workshop invites writers to respond creatively to the atmosphere, plants and stories found around the Garden and to imagine folklore for modern times.
Your ticket includes entry to the Garden, light refreshments and a Twisted Roots notebook to use during the workshop.
