SUMMARY:Bluebells and Blooms: Arts in Nature
DESCRIPTION:Date: Sunday\, April 19\, 2026\n\n\nTime: 11:00 AM\n\n\nDuration: 1 hour and 30 minutes\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescription\n\n\n1 mile walk \nTake a different sensory look at nature\, letting it inspire your creativity through the sights and sounds found around Glade Creek at the peak of the spring season. Peace can be found where nature abounds\, so join Poet Paula Lepp and Volunteer Jodi French-Burr to guide us closer to such serenity. We’ll explore the area on a level but off-trail walk in search of true community connections and inspiration at Hamlet’s large bluebell patch and along the babbling waters of Glade Creek. Hear poems and learn how writing poetry and nature journaling can help us explore our connections to such places. After the walk\, there will be a short poetry/journaling mini workshop with opportunities to further your own creativity by writing/journaling\, or if you wish\, to simply be nourished by the time shared with others in nature. Wear hiking boots and bring water. Bring journaling and writing tools or some will be available. \nGlade Creek Trailhead at the end of Glade Creek Road near Glade Creek Campground\, 6 miles from Prince
