Join Matt and a small group of tree lovers for Summer Tree walks in Glastonbury.

What we’ll do…

We’ll do a lap of the lanes ending at Grandmother lime, where Matt will talk at length, offer songs and poetry to the Linden in the prime of her season. We’ll learn about the trees and how to identify them. Matt will share his knowledge of the trees of Glastonbury including the Holy Thorn, lindens and Copper beech. He will provoke conversation on nature based themes, and recite some nature inspired poetry and prose.

In addition: There will be a short performance of gentle acoustic music for us to enjoy in the sunshine beneath the canopy of Grandmother lime.
