Painting the Forest Garden in Words

Climbing trees as a child

The rustle of trees on the breeze

The colour of berries

Smell of clean air

Edible nature

Poisonous nature.

Nettle stings and overgrown bushes

A beautiful breeze.

The peeling skin of a dead tree harbouring new life.

Darkness Into Light

Blue sky clouds and rain

Leaves through the seasons

Wooden branches bent to make fences

Calm Among ChaoS

Man-made machines murmur against the meadow

Everything Life force Constant Reaching Seasons Changing Dormant

Emerging Giving Gentle Shade Shelter Timeless Silent

Nature’s

Carpet

Eyes of the Sheep Dog

Busy Bees

Buzzing Traffic

A pop of colours amongst shades of green

Painting the Forest Garden in Words is the result of a Human Nature writing workshop with the Lancashire Wildlife Trust/Pennine Care’s Nature and Wellbeing group…
