Join Rob from Fruit & Nut Village for a pleasant countryside-comes-to-the-city walk, along one of Birmingham's most beautiful highways, next to the River Rea. We will explore three forest gardens as we walk the roughly 1.25 miles between Pebble Mill Forest Garden (close to Cannon Hill Park) and Kingdom Forest Garden (close to Birmingham Brewing Company). If you're interested in forest gardens, heritage fruits, beautiful walks, meeting new people in the area or even setting up your own Fruit & Nut Village, then do join us.
