🎟️ YOU NEED A TICKET TO ATTEND
Summer is here! And it's time to get back outside…
Come on a ramble through east London’s green spaces with artist Maymana Arefin on a spring herb and plant storytelling walk. As we stroll together, we’ll learn about the abundance of plants around us, their folkloric traditions and histories of healing. With a relaxed pace, we’ll take time to connect with our senses, observing and appreciating the natural world. To conclude, Maymana will offer a soothing herbal tea, inviting us to ground and imagine the possibilities that the upcoming season holds.
You just need to bring yourself, some sturdy shoes, a bottle of water! Please note, this walk will be focused on learning about herbs and education on foraging skills, rather than collecting on the day.

About our FREE events
💜 Our events are free to ensure they remain accessible to our communities. However, organizing them comes with costs. If you'd like to support our work, please consider donating via this link.
💜 To make sure as many people as possible can attend, we ask that you cancel your ticket if you can no longer make it. Failing to show up without prior cancellation takes a spot from someone else and wastes resources, including food and venue costs. We track attendance, and individuals who miss three events without cancelling will be unable to register for our future events. Please be considerate and let us know if you can’t attend.
💜 To ensure a smooth and respectful experience for everyone, please arrive on time. Our events are not drop-in sessions, meaning attendees must arrive at the start time and stay for the duration. We allow a 10-minute grace period for late arrivals - after that, entry will not be permitted as it can be disruptive to the group. Additionally, the entrance is not monitored after the grace period, so there will be no one available to let latecomers in. The event hours are clearly stated in the description, so please plan accordingly. Thank you for understanding and helping us create a welcoming space for all!
💜 Alongside this, we appreciate it if you could respond to any communication by the given response deadline so we can make the necessary arrangements for the event.
