Weedy Walk

October 12 @ 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM
A wall with green plants growing from between the bricks

A popular walk around Bishophill, looking at ‘weeds’ growing in untended and unintended places.
What are weeds? Unwelcome outsiders or resilient and adaptable organisms? Should we be concerned about the spraying of herbicides on our streets? What is their value to humans and insects?

We’ll have a slow short walk around Bishophill and get to know some of the plants and enjoy their interesting common names: fairy foxgloves anyone?

Booking is required for this event. To book please email laurapotts@phonecoop.coop

Suitable for ages 12+.

Any donations made at this event will be given to Pesticides Action Network UK.

For accessibility purposes, please consider that streets/pavements/alleys travelled during the walk may be uneven. Support and help can be offered if needed.
