The Education Department
Welcome to education and learning at Chelsea Physic Garden.
We aim to connect people to plants in London’s oldest outdoor
classroom and to provide an inspiration and creative experience for
children and adults to remember.
The links to the left show the different areas of our educational
work.
We have been awarded the Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge:
This provides for the first time a national accreditation combining the essential elements of provision – learning and safety – into one easily recognisable and trusted Quality Badge for all types of Learning Outside the Classroom provider organisations. More information on this scheme.
Over 20 Family Activity Days in 2010

A Teachers' Pack can now be downloaded (PDF/3.17MB). This will give you all the necessary information regarding a school visit.
