From Ellan at Grow Wild We wanted to let you know that we’ve uploaded the recordings from our three most recent live events for you to watch in case you missed them in December. This is the perfect opportunity to sit down with a cup of tea and enjoy learning something new. We spoke to Kew experts Ted and Chris about wildflowers, seed science, sowing and growing, plus we ran a session with Kew Fungarium curator Lee Davies all about fantastic fungi and where to find them. We covered topics from identification to habitat and what’s going on beneath the soil. In November, we also ran a Digital Storytelling workshop which explains how you can make the most of your digital tools to share inspiring, funny or interesting stories as well as building engagement and community in these challenging times.
