## ENJOY THE GREAT OUTDOORS: 



### The Wander Project at Kew Gardens 



  

Kew Gardens has created a series of trails across its 320-acre site. Open to visitors from Saturday 27th May, The Wander Project includes guided walks led by several inspiring leaders including poet Ben Okri, broadcaster Clara Amfo, singer Ellie Goulding, presenter Fearne Cotton and environmental activist Judy Ling Wong. Kew scientists, horticulturists and curators will also provide their own insights into the Unesco site. Celebrating its 175th anniversary this year, Kew’s Palm House will take centre stage in the ‘Dreamers’ trail, designed to feed the imagination and celebrate the awe-inspiring power of the natural world. There’s also a ‘Time Travellers’ trail to highlight Kew’s trees, some of which can live for as long as 3,000 years but are currently classified as endangered. Entry costs £19.

*Kew Gardens, Richmond, TW9 3AB; until 3rd September*

## REPAIR, RESTORE &amp; RECYCLE: 



### The Stock Market at The Corner Shop, Selfridges 



  

As part of its sustainability push, Selfridges has launched The Stock Market at The Corner Shop, where customers can repair, restore and recycle their belongings. Take clothes, shoes and bags to be valued by its expert partners and exchanged for Selfridges credit. Until Saturday 10th June, you can also bring your items to the ‘trading desk’ to value them, and book alterations or upcycling sessions which cost £10 for a two-hour slot – all profits will be donated to Oxfam. You’ll also find a curated edit of second-hand clothing and accessories from Vintage Threads and The Handbag Clinic.

Look out for beautiful floral displays across the neighbourhood before stopping at Peggy Porschen for ‘Corals &amp; Florals’ themed cakes, or The Lanesborough hotel to try a limited-edition cocktail. There will also be a Whispering Angel floral pop-up at Motcombs restaurant, floral-inspired biscuits at Bayley &amp; Sage, and 20% OFF at Belgravia Books when you present a Belgravia in Bloom map. Today, SL favourite With Nothing Underneath is offering complimentary floral embroidery on the cuff of any shirt bought in store.

## GET YOUR CULTURE FIX: 



### The Polar Silk Road at The Natural History Museum 



  

The Natural History Museum opens an exhibition tomorrow on the Polar Silk Road, a new channel created by melting Arctic sea ice. Conflicts are already beginning to arise over ownership as the channel could create opportunities for trade and access to oil and gas extraction. This exhibition features 67 images of manmade structures across four countries in the Arctic circle, captured by artist and photographer Gregor Sailer. From isolated research centres to Icelandic geothermal power stations, he has documented the changes taking place across the Arctic as people increasingly build on, exploit and research it.
