Help Us Grow: a gardening programme for people in recovery
We run a 9-week programme at Chelsea Physic Garden for people in recovery. The programme teaches the basis of gardening, botany and ethnobotany, as well as how to use plants for medicine, as inspiration for art and in cooking.
If you have any questions about how to join this course or would like more information, please call or email our Learning Team on 0207 349 6474 or
We are grateful to the D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust for awarding us £3000 to support the running of Help Us Grow.
Community Greening Projects
In 2020, we supported the Royal Brompton Hospital to green their courtyard garden, working alongside Brompton Arts and the Brompton Fountain. This has provided a calm and beautiful space for patients and their families to visit and enjoy.
Now, we are working with Chelsea Academy to help green their roof terraces. As a local school with no onsite green space this project will support the wellbeing of students, as well as helping them to learn about the natural world.
We are grateful to the Foyle Foundation, the Goldsmith’s Company Charity, and the Kusuma Trust for supporting these projects.
Community Friends
Our Community Friends programme is open to individuals who participate in the Garden’s community projects and organisations that provide services to people who may not be able to enjoy membership of Chelsea Physic Garden independently. Community Friends receive a discount of over 50% on our membership fees whilst still being able to access all of the benefits, including:
