Students will identify and practice the skills needed to be a plant hunter. Students will learn about why people collected plants for the Chelsea Physic Garden, observe how plants have adapted to different environments and discuss what plants can be used for.

Students will explore the wonderful array of plants and animals living in the wide range of habitats that can be found within Chelsea Physic Garden.
