About this Event
Seasonal Tree Tour in Abbey Park - discover spring blossom
Saturday 25 April at 11.30am
Starting outside the cafe in Abbey Park, near the oval.
Around 1.3 miles with information stops along the way.
Around 90 minutes, steady pace.
Join us for a guided walk through Abbey Park to admire the beautiful spring blossoms and discover a little about trees at this time of year. Presented by our volunteer Tree Wardens, this seasonal stroll takes in selected trees from the Abbey Park tree trail and visits the park's young orchard, which is one of several Community Orchards in the city. Step out and enjoy springtime in nature. A repeat of the walk offered last year.
This walk is a collaboration between the Leicester Tree Wardens and the Choose How You Move project.
