An activity with Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park Events

Activity date: Saturday 18th July 2026

Start time: 11:00
Finish time: 13:00

Activity description

Begin your ethnobotany journey with us at the July session of the Urban Nature Wellbeing Club. Join a guided walk through the Peninsula’s green spaces and discover the fascinating properties of the plants that grow in the area. Learn how different species were traditionally used for medicine, food, crafts, trade, and ritual practices, and explore the deep connections between people and plants. At the end of the walk, take the opportunity to unwind, connect with others, and reflect on the day’s discoveries over a cup of herbal tea in Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park.

Join us at the gatehouse of The Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park at 11:00 AM. This session is for adults only (18+). Please come prepared for the weather, as this session will take place entirely outdoors. We have a ‘Plan B’ in place for severe weather. Should this be required, we will contact you in advance with further details.
