Caldmore Speaks Out was a truly wonderful event on Sunday 6th October filled with nature poetry, run by Poets, Prattlers & Pandemonialists at Caldmore Community Garden, hosted by Gracey Bee Poetry.

We caught up with Barrington from Writers Without Borders, whose fabulous workshop inspired one of the poems that our Communications Manager read, as well as a helping hand from urban forest volunteer Sami.

Many people have already submitted their poetry towards the Trees Please, Poetry Please? competition as part of The Zephaniah Forest, and we were kindly invited to share our own as well as have our small stand to promote Benjamin’s legacy!

We are humbled to have been invited back, it was a great day filled with the appreciation of nature (and also the national poetry day theme of counting came up a few times), and hope to see some beautiful poetry adorning the Burbury Park trees this winter. well done to everyone who performed, and thank you to everyone who organised this event. We look forward to more poetry submissions!
