Organiser's description (via the Leverhulme Center for Nature Recovery):

Join Jason Williams, aka The Cloud Gardener, for an inspiring evening at Oxford’s Natural History Museum as he shares insights from his recent Churchill Fellowship research. Traveling across Europe and Asia, Jason explored how urban greenspaces—from small balconies to overlooked alleyways—can transform cities for people, wildlife, and the planet.

Through his own journey—from creating a garden on his 18th-floor balcony to designing award-winning urban green spaces—Jason highlights the power of small-scale gardening, community projects, and policy change in reimagining our urban landscapes. Discover practical solutions for greening our towns and cities, the challenges of eco-tourism, and how urban nature can enhance biodiversity and well-being.

Whether you’re a city dweller, a nature enthusiast, or a policymaker, this talk will challenge you to rethink the potential of urban spaces. Don’t miss this chance to be part of the conversation on shaping a greener, healthier future!

This is a free event, so be sure to come from 6.45pm to secure your seat
