Sunday 22 October, 11am-1pm
Ecoworks Community Garden
Please book here

Join us for a relaxed event to get familiar with the amazing Stinging Nettle. We will share stories about this familiar ‘weed’ - including its value to wildlife, folklore, and human uses such as food, medicine and textiles. We’ll taste nettles together and have a go at some hands on activities - from herbal remedies to making twine - gloves provided!

This event is part of Wild.NG’s "Meet the Neighbours" series. Each one focusses on getting to know one of our more-than-human neighbours in the city, taking a deep dive into their histories, ecology, folklore and uses.

Kindly hosted at Ecoworks Community Garden.

All welcome, suitable for adults and accompanied children.

This event is free and led by volunteers. Donations welcome.

Please book via this link, and we’ll send further details and a phone number for access.

Meeting Place: St Ann’s Allotment Visitor Centre gate, 121 Ransom Road, NG3 3LH.

 We will meet people on the day and walk up to Ecoworks from the road gate.

Accessibility : The garden doesn’t have level access, so unfortunately it is unsuitable for wheelchairs. If you have any questions about access please let us know when you book.
