Trees of St Mary’s Gardens: Discovering Their Stories
Wednesday, 9 September 2026, 11am to 1pm.
Trees are at the heart of our natural world, providing food, shelter and homes for countless species.
During this friendly guided walk, you'll learn how to identify different types of trees, find out which wildlife relies on them, and hear about some of the fascinating myths, legends and old tales that go hand in hand with some of the trees.
Join us for a relaxed and enjoyable morning in the company of these gentle green giants.
The event is free, but places are limited and booking is essential.
