Join us for this brand new session in our Summer Series offering talks, walks and workshop on resilience in nature, growing and ecology. Resilience refers to the ability of environments and communities to react to change in a way that enables them to continue to thrive. How we create flourishing and resilient environments and communities is a pertinent question for our times. This series of walks, talks and workshops encourages us to consider this question, by looking at nature and food growing in new and unique ways.
Come along on the Wonderful Weeds walk, a stroll introducing the uses and folklore of wild plants. Our walk will be led by Roy Vickery, who worked at the Natural History Museum for many years, and collects and writes on the folklore of British and Irish plants. On this walk, we imagine ourselves to be back in the 1920s, before the NHS and when people used wild plants for medicine, food, pastimes and much more.  
The meeting point for this walk is at the polytunnel at Vine Road Rec.
