The Museum in the Park is the museum of what makes Stroud great and unique.

Hedgerows are some of our earliest and oldest attempts at creating our own landscape. In inventing them we start to understand, divide and describe the world around us, and have created habitats that occur nowhere else, evolving over many hundreds of years a living network of plants and animals that have grown to depend on them. Hedgerows were a thing we created, shaped, were shaped by and started destroying, but must bring back to fight climate change.

Poet and deep thinker about hedgerows, JLM Morton leads an ecopoetry workshop and celebration of a season against the backdrop of the Museum’s Walled Garden and Stratford Park. No experience as a writer necessary, just an interest in hedges.
