Black History Month – Plants, Places & People
Join our team to discover plants from the African continent and the Caribbean. You will hear real life accounts of how people use plants for food, medicine and other resources whilst exploring our four-acre Garden.
Seed Dispersal
Students will explore the fascinating world of seed production and seed dispersal with examples from around the world. They will observe how plants in Chelsea Physic Garden spread their seeds and each student will plant a seed to take away.
Plant Hunters
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.
Habitats
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. They will identify how plants have adapted to environments from around the world and investigate creatures living in the pond or the soil as well as creating a minibeast habitat to take away.
We work with further education institutions across a variety of academic disciplines. You can either bring you students for a visit or work with us on a specific project, Find out more about some of things we can do with you.
We offer occasional CPD training for teachers to support your knowledge and skills to teach environmental educations.
