Spring is here and we are queer! So let’s get out together and reconnect with our planty-pals on this foliage-filled coastal circuit. Together we will identify and learn about the edible, medicinal, and practical qualities of a wide range of plants, share a herbal tea, gaze out over the ocean (well…estuary…), with an invitation to spend time drawing or photographing any plants you wish to connect with on a deeper level. 

Please note: this is a plant appreciation event, we will not be harvesting/foraging.

Start: 2pm in Clevedon near the marine lake (exact location provided on booking)

Finish: 4pm, location as above. 

Bring:

A mug

Note book/sketch book and pencils/pens for drawing

Camera if you’d like to take pictures

Mobility:

This is a wheelchair accessible event. The route is under 1 mile and paved, but with some steep slopes and uneven sections which may be more suitable for a power-assisted wheelchair, or manual chair with a personal assistant. Email us if you'd like photos and videos of the route. There are benches for a rest break approximately half way round. PA tickets are free. 

Mental health/illness and neurodivergence:

Come as you are! It’s always OK to take breaks away from the group if needed, wear headphones, stim etc.

Our focus is on creating a friendly, inclusive and accessible experience for the queer community.
