Mulberries & Migration - A Guided Walk with Mulberry Expert Peter Coles

Join cultural historian and mulberry expert Peter Coles for a guided walk exploring Greenwich’s mulberry heritage, migration stories and the remarkable trees of Greenwich Park.

The walk will introduce some of the stories that connect mulberry trees with people, place, trade and migration, while offering a chance to look more closely at the wider tree landscape of the park.

Open to all.
Meet at the Greenwich Park Learning Centre, at the top end of the park on the right as you come through the main gates near the ice cream van.
