TULIP | A poem by Robert Macfarlane and beneficiaries in Horatio's Garden London & South East

Back in April, we had the pleasure of welcoming Robert Macfarlane, author of several prize-winning books, to Horatio's Garden London & South East. Here, Robert held a creative writing workshop with patients, NHS staff and the charity's volunteers, at the time surrounded by spectacular spring blooms; among them, a dancing array of vibrant tulips.
It is the second year Robert has kindly led a workshop in Horatio's Garden London & South East, kindly funded by the Rathbones Folio Prize. Much of his afternoon was spent with everyone contributing words and ideas to chorally co-create an acrostic poem, or rather spell, in praise of the tulip.
In this video, Robert reads the poem aloud from the garden. We hope you love it as much as we do.
