The Charlton Society‘s monthly talk this Saturday will focus on one of SE London’s gems – the Green Chain Walk. They say…
Jane Lawson’s working life was spent teaching and lecturing in Pakistan, Uganda and London. Jane was also a Presiding Justice on the Westminster and Family Bench. Since retirement Jane has been able to pursue her passions for walking the footpaths of London, exploring the built and natural environment of London and of the Royal Borough of Greenwich in particular, and identify and study the wild flowers to be found along the footpaths.
This talk will be about all three – The Green Chain Walk – its buildings and its botany. It’s a treasure trove of often unexpected joys and delights.
Admission will be £3 (£2 for Charlton Society members) and the meeting is this Saturday, May 20, at 2.30 pm.
Then on Sunday, the Charlton and Blackheath Amateur Horticultural Society will be having its plant sale. CABAHS’s KATHY AITKEN says…
With loads of community groups joining in, it promises to be a great day out. Browse the plant stalls and find out what local groups have been doing and what opportunities there are to join in.
There will be lots for children to do, with a “Bugs in the Beds” trail around the Old Pond Garden, face painting at the Producers Market and Charlton Toy Library crafts. The WI will be there with their scrumptious cake stall and the Charlton House beekeepers plan to sell their honey.
St Luke’s Church will be open for Tower tours (panoramic views from the top!) and Millennium tapestry talks.
The plant sale will take place on Sunday, May 21, from 11am to 3pm.
