Discover the beauty of Wakehurst’s meadows on a guided walk through some of its most iconic landscapes, including Bloomers Valley, Hanging Meadow and the Coronation Meadow.
This scenic two-mile route offers the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in vibrant wildflower displays while learning from our expert guide and head of landscape and horticulture, Iain, about the rich ecology, fascinating history and wildlife that thrive in these spaces. You’ll also gain practical tips on how to create your own meadow at home.
Please note: for a more accessible experience, join us on 16 July for a specially adapted workshop with a shorter route near the Millennium Seed Bank, designed to offer an inclusive way to enjoy the splendour of Wakehurst’s meadows.
