Friends of St John’s Garden would like to invite you to join us at The Charterhouse for the Clerkenwell Pollinator Path 2026 Survey Results & Community Celebration.

Pollinating London Together ecologists will present 2026 survey results + highlights from special guests + 2026 reflections + 2027 brainstorm + home baked goodies!

We will celebrate the progress we’ve made this year and to hear Pollinating London Together ecologist, Dr Konstantinos Tsiolis, unveil the results of this summer’s pollinator surveys. He’ll be revealing which pollinators got the neighbourhood buzzing, which plants provided the best pantry for hungry pollinators, how the hot weather affected pollinator activity and which plants were most popular in the heat of summer. Using these findings, Konstantinos will be suggesting evidence-based recommendations for supporting Clerkenwell’s pollinators in 2027.

After a Q&A with KT, we’ll be hearing from some of the brilliant people who made it happen in 2026, before opening up the whiteboards for everyone to add ideas, inspirations and offers of help for 2027. In December 2025, this was the session that framed the Clerkenwell Pollinator Path’s goals and action plan for the year ahead. This year we’ll be reflecting on the year that was as well as brainstorming ideas for 2027.

Questions include:

“What did we learn in 2026? What did we most enjoy? What was most effective for helping pollinators? What surprised us? What should we stop /start/continue/ramp up in 2027? Who’s missing from the conversation? What are our limiting factors in 2027? Our biggest, wildest goals? Where can small actions or doing nothing at all outsmart the big, heavy lifts?

Please enter The Charterhouse via the Charterhouse Square entrance (by the red post box), where you can sign in at the front gate.

Google maps often take people to the wrong entrance so use What3words ///lame.tones.brick for the gatehouse entrance on Charterhouse Square. Or you can use the post code EC1M 6AH, which also takes you to the entrance on Charterhouse Square.

Hot drinks and home bakes (thank you Sunday!) will be served and there’ll be plenty of opportunity to talk to each other and to Pollinating London Together ecologists. For those of you who can’t make it in person, we’re hoping to livestream the presentation on Instagram @clerkenwellpollinatorpath but we need to reach 1,000 followers first so please spread the word with friends and colleagues.
