On Sunday I was lucky enough to take part in the launch of the Talking Trees tree trail at the Westgate Gardens. It was pretty cold and miserable when we arrived to set up, but later in the morning the sun came out and it turned into a gorgeous day.
The sunshine brought lots of people to the park, including residents from Cranmer House and a minibus full from AgeUK, many of whom explored the new tree trail and took part in the free workshops.
I had lots of fun seeing all ages of people create wonderful pebble poems. Parents read words to small children, bigger children sounded out the words, grown-ups joined in, families worked together, and one little girl fitted as many pebbles into her frame as possible, a whole heap of words waiting to be spoken.
