A Slice of the #Hobopoet Wonderland Awaits

Open Days for Kent Schools 🌼

Let the magic unfold — May 26th & 27th

Dear friends, colleagues, fellow dreamers and educators,

The gates to Enchanted Gardens Kent are open — and this is your last gentle nudge (or passionate poetic plea!) to join us for two relaxed, immersive days of connection, curiosity, and creativity.

Over May 26th and 27th, we’re inviting teachers and school leaders across Kent to step into a world where poetry flutters, wildflowers whisper, and the hum of transformation is all around.

This is not just another school trip. It’s a reimagining of what education could be.

So what are these open days, exactly?
Think of them as a low-pressure, high-inspiration experience:

• Wander the gardens with a warm cup of tea.

• Meet the Enchanted Garden team (aka the butterfly whisperers).

• Explore how our workshops support mindfulness, resilience, and joyful learning.

• Discover how pupil premium funds can support your visit.

• Find your own moment of stillness (and maybe a slice of cake too).

We already have four schools confirmed — but we believe there are twenty Kent schools out there who belong in this story. Is yours one of them?

What You’ll See

• Butterfly life cycles, unfolding before your eyes.

• Poetry woven through forest trails.

• Art-making that grounds and heals.

• A place where nature, neurodiversity, and nurturing minds meet.

Did Someone Say Cake?
Yes. There will be tea, cake, and time to sit together under the trees and dream about how we can co-create something beautiful for your students. This is about planting something lasting — in the soil and in their imaginations.

Sunday 26th & Monday 27th May | 9 AM – 12 PM

RSVP desired but not required

Let’s Make This a Movement
Six priority schools are already lined up through The Butterfly Farmer project — but this is the big call out to the next wave. Whether you’re a small village school or a bustling urban primary, if you believe in creativity, connection, and the quiet power of wild places — this invitation is for you.

Let’s give our children a taste of the extraordinary.

I can’t wait to welcome you — and to see where this next chapter takes us.

With joy, in bloom,
Your #hobopoet
