Explore nature writing in the city with Jackee Holder
What will you do in the workshop?
We’ll have some discussions, some reading and lots of writing in the special location of London Wildlife Trust’s Centre for Wildlife Gardening.
What can you expect?
This is a welcoming, kind space wherever you’re at with your writing; if you are just starting or if you’ve been writing for a while. You can expect to come away with some new pieces of writing and new ideas you may want to take further and enter into the This Is Our Place writing competition.

– Writers of colour (Black, Asian, Arab, Mixed-Raced and Non-white Latinx).
