Wolfson Garden Tour: A World Environment Day Celebration

Overview

To celebrate World Environment Day 2024, we invite you to an expert talk by the Cambridge University Botanic Garden followed by a tour of the Wolfson Gardens by Head Gardener Oscar Holgate.

World Environment Day, marked annually on the 5 June, is one of the largest global platforms for environmental outreach. 2024 will mark the 30th anniversary of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification. This year’s theme is Land Restoration, Desertification and Drought Resilience.
