Join us for a guided flora walk around Sayes Court Park and discover the surprising diversity of wild plants growing in this evolving urban landscape.
Led by local botanist Nick, this relaxed walk will explore the wildflowers, weeds and resilient plant species that thrive in Deptford’s streets, green spaces and overlooked corners. Together, we’ll identify and record the plants we find while learning more about how urban environments shape local biodiversity.
Whether you’re already passionate about plants or completely new to identifying wildflowers, this is a friendly opportunity to get outdoors, slow down and connect with the nature on your doorstep.
What to expect
• Support with identifying wild plants and common urban species
• Conversations about how plants adapt to changing urban environments
• A chance to contribute to ongoing observation and recording of local biodiversity
This walk forms part of a wider programme exploring seasonal changes in urban wildlife and the resilience of nature in London’s built environment.
What to bring
• Comfortable footwear and weather-appropriate clothing
• A notebook or phone for recording observations if you’d like
• Curiosity and enthusiasm for the natural world
