The Urban fringe Pharmacy Project is primarily designed to promote healthier lifestyles for the whole community.
Traditionally the types of walks and workshops that we facilitate may be found at National Trust, English Heritage, or other 'middle class' green spaces. Our open, accessible, and friendly events are held in inner city and urban fringe green spaces and parks, near to bus routes and areas of urban population. We aim to give participants the opportunity to receive expert guidance in a way that is not currently available.
Our purpose is to awaken an interest in the natural environments and phenomena that are accessible to city dwellers. Events are planned to be open to people with little or no experience, to introduce new skills and techniques, as well as advancing their knowledge of the green environment. The workshops are designed to nurture people's creativity, and ultimately we would hope to encourage some people to go on to further education.
