Breeze through Writer’s Block! Writing + Weeding, 1st Sundays

Note: Changed this month to July 10 due to July 4 holiday weekend.

Cat got your tongue? Dog tired of trying to break out of writer's block?
We all have times when we just can't seem to get the words out. Sitting with other writers really helps break writer's block. In our unique garden setting, you can also literally weed out your thoughts by taking some time to pull weeds in a community garden. Getting our hands in the dirt can sometimes inspire creative flow. (Note, we recommend you bring your own gardening gloves.)

We invite writers to sit in the garden for this event. Garden is at 295 Oak Street at Octavia. We usually meet at the tables by the gate at Lily / Octavia. Writers are welcome to sit in either south or north garden, both are between Page and Oak on the east side of Octavia. Come to the gates halfway up the block on Lily Street (small alley at Octavia).
We suggest bringing any devices fully charged as we don't have outlets. Pick up a beverage/snack at Mercury Cafe across the street at Page and Octavia (they have restroom facilities).

During the Shelter in Place, we were in Zoom only. Now, weather permitting, we are back the garden at Hayes Valley Art Works - 295 Oak Street at Octavia - so we can pull some actual weeds!
For in person, covid protocols required. ** Currently we are varying between in person and Online depending on weather as we are in open air garden. If weather is not great, we will be on ZOOM. ** check back for updates each week.
