About this Event
Enoch Pratt Free Library is thrilled to partner with to offer a Nature Writing Series this fall. Each of these events will provide participants with the opportunity to encounter and interact with nature in a unique way.
On October 13, Cylburn invites you to join us for a guided Nature Walk tailored to highlight aspects of Cylburn’s lovely grounds and gardens which may act as inspiration for art and expression. Throughout the walk, Cylburn’s Education Director and a Pratt Librarian will facilitate creative discussion and ideation through natural facts and generative prompts. One concept we will explore is the rhizosphere -- a nutrient-dense zone of soil that surrounds plant roots. We'll consider why it is important to the thriving of nature at Cylburn and its relevance to us as humans, neighbors to the natural world.
Participants will be encouraged to explore Cylburn’s grounds further and write in the many contemplative spots around the Cylburn grounds (benches, mansion porch, bamboo forest, gazebo, etc.). The program will conclude with an optional group reflection and sharing activity.
