Join the Rebel Botanists to learn about the trees and plants in the park and have fun chalking the pavement!
Join the fabulous Rebel Botanists on a walk and chalk event around Victoria park to learn about the trees and plants in the park and to chalk their names and introducing facts about them on the ground.
The Rebel Botanists exist to educate and raise awareness of the beautiful and valuable wild plants at your feet: in pavement cracks, on grass verges and in urban parks. We highlight their important connection to ecology, the biodiversity of life that depends on them, which is all around us and enables our very existence.
They say:
"Our methods are unconventional and rebellious, using a Banksy-esque street art approach to name the flora we find; however, the outcome is not of confrontation but of curiosity and engagement.
Curiosity is the first step towards learning for all ages, and by using chalk as our medium, it is not only a natural (calcium carbonate) material, but it washes away in the rain, which means we have to go out and do it again, and again! The pavements become a new and evolving canvas; just as the seasons change, so do our chalkings.
We are not qualified botanists, we are rebel botanists, learning more and more ourselves and sharing it with everyone who sees it. We are passionate about plants and believe in free education, so please join us, follow us:
- learn and love nature,
- care and respect nature
- and have fun doing it!"
Victoria Park has wide flat paths and therefore this event is wheelchair accessible.
