Practice the words for the chorus so you can join in with the last song of the show:
Chorus
One small hello can grow and can grow
Like a garden so wild and from long ago!
A chat and some laughter
Make loneliness leave
So one small hello is what we all believe
Create a flower for our garden
To join in with the performance of our adaptation of The Garden of Broken Things by Freya Blackwood please create a flower to put in the garden; then bring the flower with you to the show.
- Create a flower – use the video below to help you
- On your flower write or draw a memory that makes you smile, e.g. getting ice cream with grandad, cuddling my dog
Teachers – after the performance, use the flowers for a classroom display
