Shared Roots - Summer Walks, Talks and Workshops

Join us at the Community Growing Project this summer for 'Shared Roots', our annual series of walks, talks and workshops. Led by a fantastic line-up of speakers, the events will offer fascinating insights into growing plants, people and communities.

A Fruity Walk across Barnes

Let's go on a Fruity Walk through Barnes, where trees tell stories of resilience, adaptation and community, rooted in its long history of orchards and market gardens. Starting at Vine Road Recreation Ground, once part of a working orchard, we'll explore historic apple and pear trees, wander across Barnes Common, and follow quiet streets towards a community orchard and unexpected frontgarden fruit trees.

Through mindfulness, tree identification and storytelling, we'll uncover the surprising fruit trees that thrive here, and consider what they reveal about our relationship to the land and each other.

Come curious and leave nourished, in more ways than one.
