Event Description
Many of the ‘weeds’ we commonly see growing in pavement cracks and on unplanted areas are wildflowers whose diversity and abundance make a valuable contribution to richness of nature aorund us, and as food and nectar sources for many insects. We will walk around the Bishophill and Scarcroft area and see what’s growing and try to identify the variety of plants that make the area green and lovely.
This is a guided walk with Laura Potts and John Pearson looking at weeds growing in pavements and unplanted areas, learning what they are and how valuable to our environment.
Please note: We will be walking on pavements around the area; the walk will be slow and there are slopes to avoid steps. A minimum age of 7+ is recommended for this activity.
