Writing about gardens is about noticing. It’s about conveying a sensory experience, transporting readers into a landscape.

In this workshop we’ll take a walk in the Pleasure Garden to feed our imaginations. We will explore how to observe and describe gardens on the page, putting the smells, colours and textures of a patch of land into words that are alive with the place.
