As always, this walk is part of a series of 2 x monthly walks we host at low-cost.

Our mission is to remove barriers to wild plant, foraging and medicinal knowledge.

Details:
We'll meet at 2pm at the main Pavillion area of Netham Park on Avonvale Road and take a stroll round the edges, down to the canal and up again to see which wild plants are abundant. We will see the the bursting linden leaves, yarrow and first summer flowers as well as bugs and birdlife. We'll have lots of opportunity to chat, ask questions, share knowledge, recipes and experiences.

- tupperware if you'd like to take home any plants we find
