2 Degrees is a biennial festival of art, environment and action. More urgent than ever, it's made up of talks, workshops, exhibitions and performances. The whole festival is lovely and I particularly recommend a performance called Wild Longings, a sensuous horticultural journey which takes place in secret gardens in the City of London. It's only on this weekend so you'll need to be quick!
About Wild Longings
Join artists Curious on a luscious garden tour sown with stories of transformation, conservation tips and songs, and rooted with a desire to provide succour to each other and the environment. Wild Longings invites you to unearth your passions in a sensuous horticultural journey that celebrates inclusivity, interconnectivity and survival. Encounter the enchanting tour-guide Helen Paris and her passionate ode to the transgender Fortingall Yew, get hands-on conservation tips from raconteur gardener Leslie Hill and let chanteuse Claudia Barton beguile you with a fantasia of song inspired by botanical delights. St Dunstan in the East is claimed to be the most beautiful public garden in the City. After the Church of St Dunstan was bombed in the Blitz of 1941, the ruins, and the unscathed church tower and steeple designed by Sir Christopher Wren, were turned into an enchanting public garden. Performance address: St Dunstan in the East St Dunstan's Hill EC3R 5DD London
