Situated in the heart of London, this 'Secret Garden' is a centre of education, beauty and relaxation. Founded in 1673 by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries, it continues to research the properties, origins and conservation of over 5000 species.
The Museum gardens provide a peaceful retreat for both visitors and wildlife alike, and are much appreciated by local office workers who enjoy a welcome lunch-break in a beautiful environment. The traffic may still speed by, but inside the garden walls, the pace eases a little and visitors enjoy the garden at whatever level they choose, from knowledgeable plantsmen inspecting flowers in detail, to those who understand little of horticulture but still enjoy relaxing in a garden environment.
Historic parkland, with meadows, wetlands and a network of waterways. Fragrant and colourful rose garden with over 2,000 roses (May-Sept). Old Snuff Mill Environmental Centre brings learning to life.
