Wednesdays, 6:30-8PM
Two-part class
Plants aren't just pretty. They think, act, teach, tell stories, and even influence us. In this class, we'll discuss ideas to creatively write about plants (and with plants). Together, we'll explore botany through literary arts and reflect on our personal relationships to plants, gardens, and ecosystems in a new and meaningful way. This class is open to writers of all levels and interests. It will be a mix of plant ecology, philosophy, and creative writing across blended areas.
