On The Edge Apple tree

A series of three guided walking tours in different parts of the city, looking at current, sometimes edgier approaches to gardening and green space, including growing food in the city, therapeutic gardening, guerilla gardening, and gardening for wildlife.

These walks on the edge of the city are surprisingly beautiful and filled with interest.

Each tour takes three hours, and covers two to three miles walking mainly on good tracks and occasionally on pavements.  There are plenty stops with commentary on community gardens, green space, wildlife, etc. We'll also stop for a breather halfway through the walk, so please bring a snack if you wish.
