- **Event Name**: July Cemetery Plants Tour
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 19 Jul, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sun, 19 Jul, 2026 at 12:45 pm
- **Event Description**: Discover the rich and varied plant life of Sheffield General Cemetery on a relaxed, guided wander with local botanist Gerry Firkins.

From shaded woodland to open grassland, the Cemetery is home to a surprising diversity of habitats and species. This gentle walk offers a chance to slow down, look closely and uncover the plants that thrive in this unique urban green space – from familiar favourites to lesser-known species.

Gerry has been leading field meetings since the 1980s for organisations including Sheffield University, the WEA and the RSPB, and brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to every walk. With years of experience teaching plant identification, he’ll help you see the Cemetery in a whole new way.

A perfect way to enjoy the beauty of spring and connect with nature in the heart of Sheffield.
