Chelsea Physic Garden is a four-acre botanic garden founded in 1673 by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries. The Garden is situated on the Chelsea Embankment on the north bank of the River Thames. We look after a collection of over 4000 edible, useful and medicinal plants from all over the world. After a century of constant use, the Glasshouses at Chelsea Physic Garden need restoration. Ahead of our 350 anniversary in 2023, the Garden has embarked on a major capital project to repair them, as well as to improve life under glass for our plant collections and enhance the visitor experience.

With the support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund, we have brought together a team of heritage conservation experts to develop the plans to restore our heritage, cultivate and share new stories, and protect our plants.

We are looking for a group of people to help us ensure the way we share this information about the plants and our history is clear and interesting.
