The Secret Life of Lawns (copy) - Sunday 15th March 2026

Sunday 15th March | 14:00 - 15:30

🎟️ Free event - booking required

Lawns are everywhere, yet few people realise they are among the most diverse habitats in inner London. Join us for the second in this new series of guided walks, exploring the wildlife found in lawns, as these overlooked habitats begin to prepare for Spring. 

When you walk on lawns, you're walking on wildlife! Depending on weather, March is a great month for plants in lawns. Many more come in to flower, Lesser Celandines usually peak as do Sweet Violets and lots of other species are building up, getting ready for the peak flowering in April. 

What to expect

• A relaxed, guided walk focusing on urban lawn biodiversity

• Learn how to spot and identify plants and other wildlife in everyday green spaces

• Explore how climate change and changing pollution levels are shaping urban ecosystems

• No prior knowledge needed - just curiosity and comfortable footwear

This walk is suitable for adults and interested young people, and encourages noticing the nature we usually walk straight past.
