About this Event
Discover the incredible variety of edible and medicinal wild plants growing right on London's doorstep during a relaxed, expert-led walk through Brockwell Park. Whether you're completely new to foraging or looking to expand your knowledge, John will share over 30 years of experience, practical tips and fascinating stories about the plants that surround us.
The walk concludes at the Brixton Brewery Taproom, where you'll enjoy a complimentary pint of Brixton beer (or a soft drink) included in your ticket.
Our team will also be joining the full walk and will be there to welcome everyone back to the taproom afterwards.
