Botanical Walks in Kent
Step into the green with me and discover the hidden stories of the plants around us.
These guided botanical walks are open to all—whether you're a complete beginner curious about the names and uses of wild plants, an ecologist looking to sharpen your ID skills, or someone who simply enjoys being in nature and wants to connect more deeply with it.
Based in Kent, each walk is designed to be both educational and restorative. Along the way, we’ll explore plant identification, ecology, folklore, foraging, and herbal traditions—while also making space to slow down, notice the details, and enjoy the quiet benefits of time outdoors. The walks also offer a chance to meet like-minded people and share a love of the natural world in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
Whether you're here to learn, to breathe, or a bit of both—there’s a walk for you.
