Jaywick Open Gardens

I am delighted to be invited to Dig4 Jaywick at the  the Jaywick Community Garden. 

​Situated in the Brooklands area of Jaywick Sands (listed in the Indices of Multiple Deprivation as the 1st most deprived area in England,) the overall aim of the project is to promote the benefits of community gardening by working with the community  to provide facilities for recreation and education. The garden also helps to educate the public in horticulture, garden crafts and the protection and improvement of the natural environmental by encouraging reduction, re-use and recycling. It also provides training for local people, especially those with learning difficulties, and mental health issues, providing skills and raising their self-esteem. The garden also provides a resource for local schools and colleges where students can learn about gardening, conservation and the natural environment.

I have brought The Big Write - prompts and conversation -  to encourage people to express their thoughts about this wonderful place and to create a collective poem, line by line, from the visitors, volunteers and supporters.

And the sun is shining!

    Check out my BLOG here: The stories behind the stories. 
    This is where I explore the themes and ideas behind my novels.
    The backstories of the characters and how they came about.
    Where the ideas come from and how they grow into a story. And how my own life experiences feed the constant, fast flowing stream of stories and ideas.
