Hidden Nature of Chelsea Physic Garden Tickets and Dates

Hidden Nature of Chelsea Physic Garden Tour

Chelsea Physic Garden is widely acclaimed for its extensive botanical collection. However, the Garden also harbours a fascinating ecology that remains largely unnoticed by most visitors.

Over the upcoming year, the Garden is undertaking a comprehensive biodiversity audit to catalogue all species present within its walls. This tour offers an opportunity to accompany the Garden's Consultant Ecologist, Connor Butler, on an in-depth exploration of the Garden's wildlife. Participants will investigate the diversity of mosses, lichens, and liverworts thriving in the garden, examine decaying wood piles for beetles, slugs and woodlice, and use nets to survey the pond for amphibians and insects.

This tour offers the opportunity to learn about the hidden wildlife found in London’s oldest botanic garden.
