Dear John,

We’re very excited to announce the first of four events in our series of online talks, Reassembling Our Cities ([link removed]) . We invite you to join us at:


** OUR RESILIENT NEIGHBOURS ([link removed])
Celebrating the plants on our streets ([link removed])
30th June 2021, 7-8pm
------------------------------------------------------------
Our Resilient Neighbours ([link removed]) brings together botanists and plant lovers from across the country to take a look at some of the incredibly resilient, under-appreciated and diverse plants found on our pavements. We’ll discover how they came to be there, why they’re special and why they’re so important in our towns and cities.

Going pesticide-free is not just about replacing herbicides with mechanical weeding methods, or relying on communities that have the luxury of time to weed their own streets. It’s also about encouraging councils and residents to move away from the ‘neat and tidy’ mentality. We need to recognise the importance of pavement plants in supporting our mental health and the urban ecosystem as a whole.

Join us in celebrating the plants on our streets with these fabulous folks!
