London National Park City Ranger Divya Hariramani Herrero is an urban fruit tree forager and Renewable Energy Consultant.

Her project Fruity Walks invites you to reconnect with nature’s resilience in unexpected urban corners and reimagine London’s future—one olive tree at a time.

The initial concept behind Fruity Walks was the novelty of finding these more unexpected species within the city centre, a page on Instagram to inspire people to pay more attention to their surroundings while going from point A to B during their day-to-day. That has now evolved slightly into more of an emphasis on understanding the stories behind these trees, how they arrived here and the people that planted them.

After delivering a London Walking Festival Fruity Walk exploring Marylebone’s many olive tree Divya joined our podcast host Emily for a chat about the project and her exciting plans for the future.
