Flower Power
A haiku workshop on our flowering neighbors, the kingdom of plants. Flowers don't just color our landscape ~ they help fuel our web of life. Even if you are not a pollinator, it can be difficult to escape the seduction of our plant neighbors. Surrender ~ embrace the magic and beauty of flowers from new perspectives and find haiku blossoming all around you.
Jeff Hoagland is a lifelong naturalist and environmental educator in New Jersey where he enjoys a very public love affair with all things wild. He practices haiku as a way of exploring his kinship with his plant, animal and "other neighbors." He notes that his practice provides an important antidote to a busy life and is key to staying connected to the "real" world. Jeff's haiku have appeared in a wide range of journals and anthologies. He is an associate editor of The Heron's Nest.
