BBG Presents “Writing the Garden of Your Life” with Jennifer Browdy
January 29 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join veteran teacher, award-winning memoirist, and avid gardener Jennifer Browdy for a series of four wintertime workshops (Wednesdays, Jan. 29 to Feb. 19, from 10 a.m. to noon) using 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:
1. Designing with vision and intention
2. Composting, pruning and deadheading, and preparing new beds
3. Planting seeds and bulbs, and welcoming the sap and new shoots
4. Cultivating, weeding and fertilizing
Along the way, you’ll learn about Jennifer’s unique “elemental journey” framework for writing memoirs, and 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!
