Friends of the Garden

Become a Friend of Chelsea Physic Garden and enjoy the tranquility of London's Secret Garden throughout the year.The Garden is closed to the public from November until Easter each year but not to Friends. As we are a self-supporting charity and have no government funding, our Friend's scheme also helps to sustain the Garden and support our work in research and education.

A Friends' subscription makes a wonderful gift and helps preserve this historic garden for future generations. There are numerous additional benefits, aside from the year round access. See Gift Membership below.

Benefits FREE ADMISSION for Friends plus two family members on weekdays throughout the year, and also on Sundays between April and the end of October inclusively. For our public opening times click here Two newsletters a year Free entrance to the Christmas Fair Special invitations for Friends' Lectures, held at the Garden Exclusive reservations line for the cafe Free entry to Great Dixter House & Gardens and Borde Hill in Sussex Our spring and autumn newsletters keep our friends in touch with all the latest news and events at the Garden. There is also a monthly e-bulletin which is a more regular way of keeping up to date. Please provide your email address on the application form if you wish to receive this. * On non-public days, Friends of the Garden should enter via the office door on Royal Hospital Road. ** During the darker winter months (December - February), the Garden closes at 15:30.
