Writing the Garden of Your Life: A Workshop Series in Purposeful Memoir

January 29 @ 10:00 am - February 19 @ 12:00 pm

In this series of four wintertime in-person workshops at the Berkshire Botanical Garden, we’ll use gardening as a theme for personal writing.

You can write about your gardening experiences, and/or write about your life using gardening as a metaphor.

Sessions will be organized around the following themes, with writing prompts that can be taken literally or metaphorically: Designing with vision & intention; Composting, pruning & deadheading; Preparing new beds; planting seeds & bulbs; Cultivating new growth, weeding & fertilizing.

Along the way, you’ll learn about Jennifer’s unique “elemental journey” framework for writing memoir, and get the benefit from her decades of experience as a writing professor, author coach, editor and publisher.

Come meet other writer-gardeners and brighten up the winter season with the creative bloom of memoir writing in good company!

Four Wednesdays, Jan. 29 – February 19, 2025, from 10 am – noon, in person at the Berkshire Botanical Garden, Stockbridge MA.
