Thanks to everyone who came and chilled at our Mul Thanks to everyone who came and chilled at our Mulberry Moments event in the heat of Saturday afternoon โ˜€

Within the wider context of Climate Change, Camberwell has been doing its bit, and celebrating the good stuff. We heard from Head Gardener of Burgess, Ciaran Hawkins, and from Peter Coles (UK Mulberry expert) about how mulberry trees are a smart bet for a climate resilient future. 

Friends of Burgess Park were fantastic hosts, and the Chumleigh Gardens proved an excellent concert venue. Thank you to our talented musicians Belinda Braggins, Winston Skerritt and Maurice Brown for the afternoon's music. Amazing lemonade treats and mulberry jam for our scones as a teatime treat were courtesy of TFC, the Turkish Food Centre in Camberwell. Sally Willcocks fabric bows were used to dress the trees at the start of the new avenue - so nobody could possibly miss the newly planted trees. And thanks are due to the Camberwell Society and Nunhead Gardener whose financial support made the mulberry celebration possible.

It was lovely to be joined by so many eager partic It was lovely to be joined by so many eager participants for our Medicinal Trees Walk in Myatts Fields Park last week. Led by Greg Packman, Tree Curator of the Royal Parks, we enjoyed a circular tour of the park, learning about medicinal uses, history, folklore and other fascinating facts about a range of tree species including the Yew, London Plane, Turkish Hazel, Silver Birch, Ginko, Walnut, Sweet Gum and Mulberry. It was a privilege to hear Greg's knowledge about the trees we sometimes take for granted. 

We look forward to bringing more nature-based events like this to SE5, to be the first to hear make sure you download the Camberwell Life app. Download now using the link in our bio ๐Ÿ”—
