Wonderful Weeds - 12 May 2025
Discover the beautiful botany and fascinating heritage of some of our most overlooked wild species, the ‘weeds’.
Join Gemma Hindi, who is a Royal Parks Help Nature Thrive Engagement Officer, on a leisurely walk through the park discovering the beautiful botany and fascinating heritage of some of our most overlooked wild species, the ‘weeds’.
Weeds are plants growing in unwanted places. Our relationship to these wild species has changed throughout history. What place do weeds have in our urban parks, and what lessons can we learn from them?
On this walk we will explore botanical identification skills, benefits for biodiversity and climate resilience, historical and cultural significance. This 2 hour session will involve a gentle walk through the park lasting up to 1.5 hours, and a 30 minute activity in the allotment garden.
25 places – 23 Friends, 2 guests.
MEET: 6.15pm outside the Park offices at the junction of Chester Road, the Inner Circle.
COST: £5 for Friends, £25 for guests.
