About the event

Come and join us for a walk around FLOW, community orchard, which runs along the Rive Exe. 

LOW came into being as part of an artist residency which coincided with the re-landscaping of Riverside Valley Park following substantial flood relief engineering works.  The project was led by artist, designer and educator, Anne-Marie Culhane working with people from Exwick, St. Thomas and wider Exeter.

Around 200 trees have been planted, many by local people.  People in Exeter continue to care for the route as it grows.  FLOW has been created taking into account local knowledge, the different uses of the site, different land ownership, historical links, orientation and shade, proximity to roadways, potential pollution levels, likely user groups, flooding and climate change.

As part of the walk, we will take a gentle walk to Double Locks pub, which will take about an hour, and will take refreshments where required.
