Chelsea Physic Garden has played a central role in the development of botanical painting in the UK and abroad and our Florilegium Society continues to contribute to this.

Since 1673 Chelsea Physic Garden has occupied four acres of land on the edge of the Thames. First established by the Apothecaries in order to grow medicinal plants, this extraordinary garden in London has had wide reaching impact around the world.

We are further spreading the word of how important plants are to our everyday lives by engaging with school children, young people and community groups across London. Check out what we have been up to.

Our partner gardens offer an opportunity to learn about the plants and people that make inspiring places using plants and the natural conditions.

People and plants have shaped Chelsea Physic Garden since 1673. The people who currently work or volunteer in the garden still believe in the power of plants.
