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.
