Pearl Bamford Community Garden – Eco Poetry Competition

The Pearl Bamford Community Garden Crowdfunder: Eco Poem Competition

This is an opportunity to create an Eco inspired poem which represents the Garden’s sustainable values and positive approach to mindfulness and wellbeing.
The English challenge is to create a poem of any form that reflects a idea of gardens, nature or sustainable futures.

All entries to be emailed to jess.lancaster@budehaven.cornwall.sch.uk

We are looking forward to producing a booklet with all of the entries in, which parents can buy to share with families. An ideal Christmas present for grandparents perhaps? We hope that the winning entry will be reproduced as part of the garden design, for all to enjoy as they use the space.

To donate to our Crowdfunder please visit the project here. Further exciting rewards and details of the Crowdfunder can be seen there.

The English Department are really looking forward to reading your entries.
The deadline is Friday the 27th November – so get that poetry brain ready!
If you need some inspiration, you could visit the, Poetry by Heart website and browse the anthology of poems, looking especially at some of the nature poems to give you ideas. Perhaps take a notebook with you on your 1 hour exercise each day, and write thoughts about what you see, hear, smell and touch on your journey. You could even sit in a garden for some time and listen, watch and feel the atmosphere. Let nature talk to you and then capture those feelings in your words.

We can’t wait to read you poems!
