Tours of
Loddiges Nursery Site

The group walk explores the former grounds of Hackney’s Loddiges Nursery and how its tropical plant trading in East London transformed landscapes across the world. Maps, collage illustrations and stories accompany the exploration of the nursery’s lost botanical world and its spectacular Palm House. The walk covers the journeys of plants from distant homelands to London’s East End docks and the plant hunters whose worldwide expeditions brought them here. It is part of E8 Art Trail. Tickets are available. The meeting point is the entrance of Hackney Central Library, E8 1GQ, and the walk runs from 12:00 to 1:00 PM.
