On Saturday 22 May, Bob Gilbert will give a talk about Trees – their secret stories for Friends of St George’s Gardens and friends. He will talk about the protective power of the birch, death and the elder, how the hazel shaped our history and more stories behind some of our commonest trees and shrubs.  Meet at the Chapel of Rest at the Handel Street Entrance at 12 noon.

We’re being supercareful not to break any Covid guidance so only 30 people can attend. You can book using Eventbrite – just follow this link: https://bit.ly/secret-stories. Tickets are free but please only book if you really intend to come  – Eventbrite will say ‘sold out’ once it has 30 bookings.  Please consider wearing a mask as we will be standing fairly close together.
