Annual Wildflower Hunt – 1st December 2019
Sunday 1st December 2019, 11:00am - dusk Join us on our traditional hunt for wildflowers on the fist day of winter. Last year we found 89 species of wildflower still in flower. How many will we find this year? We meet at Deptford Station, the oldest surviving railway station in London, at 11.00 am. From there we shall head out into the wilds of Deptford looking for truly wild wildflowers. What will we find this year? We will stop at approximately 1pm for lunch at Cafe Bianca, 65 Deptford High Street. After lunch we will continue our floristic foray ending up at Creekside Discovery Centre where there will be tea and mince pies. If you would like to join in for part of the hunt we will be at Cafe Bianca, 65 Deptford High Street, around 1pm and Creekside Discovery Centre around 3pm. The Centre will be open from 2pm to 4 pm, so if you are unable to do the whole walk you can pop in then for a chat, tea and mince pie or to purchase some of our famous Creekside Christmas cards. In addition we will be running a free winter crafts session for families from 2.30-3.30pm. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
