Join us on a guided walk at Walthamstow Wetlands looking at plants from a queer perspective.

How can botany be queered and how can queerness be botanical? Join Sixto-Juan Zavala, founder of Queer Botany, on a walk exploring connections between queerness and nature. We will share stories about plants from folklore, science, and history.

There are 2 sessions available to book:

11:30am–1pm
2:00pm–3:30pm

This event is a special collaboration between Waltham Forest Pride 2026, London Wildlife Trust, and Queer Botany celebrating Pride.

This event is aimed at adults aged 18 and over.

The walk will be fully outdoors so dress for the weather and there may be some gentle inclines so strong stout footwear is recommended.
