Shared Roots - Summer Walks Talks and Workshops

Join us at the Community Growing Project this summer for 'Shared Roots', our annual series of walks, talks and workshops. Led by a fantastic line-up of speakers, the events will offer fascinating insights into growing plants, people and communities.

The Healing Herbs of our Land: Community and Ecosystem Health

We’ll walk, talk and meet our medicinal friends of the garden and the wild, sharing stories of their place in the mix of symbiotic life systems we are all part of, their folklore and applications in health, and how our relationships with them can support our and their wellbeing. High summer offers a rich mix of flower and seed remedies, we will smell and taste, make a seasonal infusion to drink together, and discover how we can build community through herbalism and our shared cultural histories of plant medicine.

Meet us for this walk outside the polytunnel in our growing area at Vine Road Rec.

Please note, dogs will not be admitted at this event except guide dogs. All our events are dog free unless specifically mentioned in the event listing.

Thank you to Kew Village Market for the funding which enables us to offer tickets to our Shared Roots events at a subsidised cost.

Concessions: All proceeds from ticket sales will support our conservation work and future learning events and we would encourage you, if you can, to pay full price. We do not want cost to be a barrier to our activities, as such we have a limited number of free and discounted concession tickets available, please email [email protected] for details.
