Last week, a group of Workman Partners and clients were treated to an informative, inspiring and entertaining tour of the Natural History Museum gardens, reimagined as part of its Urban Nature Project, sponsored by Workman.
The tour of the gardens included meeting Fern, the stunning brand-new bronze cast of the Museum’s much-loved Diplodocus, supported by the Kusuma Trust, and a journey through more than 2.7 billion years of Earth’s history in the Evolution Garden.
The transformation of the five-acre space – which wraps around the Museum – has created accessible, free-to-visit gardens in the heart of London, where visitors can explore, rest, and connect with nature.
This private tour, hosted by Workman and led by expert Museum guide Leonie Biggenden, Learning Volunteer Manager, traced the footsteps of the past, unlocking new chapters of evolutionary history with every step.
Vicky Cotton, Workman’s ESG Director, said: “The tour took guests right up to the present day, to consider our collective future, and how we can make space for nature – adding biodiversity even in the smallest pockets of the most unforgiving commercial real estate.”
With thanks to the Natural History Museum’s Cassie Emanuel and Rachel Simpson for hosting us, and to our guests for joining us: Tom Edgerley, Ashtrom Properties | Charlotte Davis and Liz Twiney, BlackRock | Ben Maxwell-Alywin, Kennedy Shear and Chris Stevens, Frasers | Ellie Awford, Nuveen | Chris Denness and Andrew Price, Shaftesbury Capital.
