Grasses are so often overlooked, but they play a vital role in our ecosystems.

Join us for an introduction to the world of grasses, part of our Plant Study Sessions series. What are grasses? What are the common species found on our site? How can we identify them?

Come along to:

  • Get hands-on with urban plants
  • Gain insights into their fascinating ecology.
  • Connect with fellow nature lovers in a relaxed, outdoor setting.

Please wear weather-appropriate clothes and shoes, as well as a packed lunch or money for the on-site cafe.
