The Chelsea Physic Garden
A talk, complete with slides, by Mike Watts
Friday 29 September 2006
London’s secret garden of medicinal and historic plants, was established by the London Society of the Apothecaries in 1673. This talk explains why the garden was founded and describes some of the eminent men who contributed to its development over the centuries and its contribution to medicine, botany, horticulture and even world economics. It also looks at some of the features of the garden with emphasis on medicinal plants. I heard this talk last year, both it and the slides were excellent. Tickets are £2.00 each and will be available from Stanley’s Stores and committee members.
