Join us for a special Summer Solstice Herb Walk celebrating the longest day and the official start to he summer. This is such an abundant and magical time in the season to be connecing with the plants around us.

We will be looking at edible and medicinal plants that are around this time of the year. It's an opportunity to discover and connect to the plants growing around us, learn how to identify them and find out more about their uses and history.

This time we will explore plants growing at the Olympic Park, just ‘round the corner from our new home in Hackney Wick.

The walk will last around 2 hours, and then we will gather somewhere quiet and have another look at the plants we found during the walk.

Meeting point: Timber Lodge Cafe, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Honour Lea Ave, E20 1DY (view map).

Please dress appropriately for the weather and bring whatever you need to feel comfortable, i.e: sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen if it's sunny or umbrella or raincoat if it's raining.
