Come and lift your spirits! No need to consider yourself a singer – you may be someone who grows vegetables or fruit\, or makes jam and may be interested in learning a few food related songs to bring music to the growing and your culinary year.\n\nThis singing workshop will gather a crop of folk and nature songs which celebrate some of the amazing edible plants and trees in Morrab Gardens and the Gardeners House. There are many – in Morrab Gardens we have apples\, figs\, Lion’s Mane\, and ginger lily\, dates and kiwis in the greenhouse and in the Sensory Garden we have tomatoes\, sweetcorn\, strawberries and herbs – to name a few. We will sing first in the Lab and then take a wander outside to sing easy to learn songs with plants and trees along the way.\n\nWe will also sing some ritual songs for sowing\, planting and harvest. These can be practical – work songs\, or fun songs which teach the growing process\, or they can be magical\, and full of folklore. The Wassail is an example of this\, a ritual which treats the apple tree as a sentient being needing nourishment\, protection and waking up from its winter sleep.\n\nCome and be part of a morning rekindling a few of the songlines and ceremonies connecting us with our food and the work and care it takes to grow it. Perhaps you have a song you’d like to bring to the harvest!\n\nThe workshop will be led by Kelsey Michaels:\n\nKelsey has\, for many years\, brought singers to our Penwith growing projects to aid with the celebration of the season and the growing of food\, folk culture and community. She has a long association with Bosavern Community Farm\, St Just\, for whom she wrote the song A Meadow for a spring seed sowing ceremony which is to be repeated this year. Her previous singing group Land and Sea Singers sang at Harvest and Spring celebrations at Bosavern and at Growing links and Polgoon vineyard\, as well as bringing song to Transition Penwith events. Kelsey’s new choir Folk Tree is now carrying on this joyful embedding of singing and songs into the West Penwith growing and cultural year.\n\n\nUnderstanding our ticket prices \nWe offer a tiered system of pricing for some of our events\, so that there should always be a ticket price to suit all purses.
