Project Update

We're happy to say that almost all of our glasshouses have been "handed back". They aren't finished, but the builders have done the most important fixes. The gardeners can now put the plants back inside. This is a really big deal and marks the start of a new life for the glasshouse. It is also a bit of a relief.

We are very happy to launch the Chelsea Physic Garden Podcast. A big part of the Glasshouse Restoration Project is finding ways to talk to people about plants. Podcasts are a great way to do this. They let us reach lots of people in a fun and engaging way. We teamed up with our friends at Belvoir Farm for these three episodes.

Our community garden gives people the chance to get their hands dirty. The volunteers have helped plan and plant the garden. Lots of the plants in the Community Garden are edible and so the community can use what they grow.

Glasshouse 2 houses plants for the Atlantic Islands. When we re-open the glasshouses it will be known as the Atlantic Islands Glasshouse. Lots of the plants will stay the same but we will tell different stories about them. It will tell people about the problem of pests. The Atlantic islands are very special.
