Lovely day of poetry, painting, planters, pumpkins at St Paul's Talking Birds for Greenways Festival

A creative collaboration with Adele Mary Reed who made the planters, children from St Paul's Church who painted them, Caroline Backhouse (nee Twist) who printed and placed the vinyl Talking Birds who are leading the Greenways Festival and planted the greenery Lou L for being a legend #greenways

A great day at Greenways Festival Talking Birds leading a "Plant a Poem" workshop with Lisa Franklin on planting hope. We had great creative conversations around green spaces and sustainability #poetry #greenways
