Support your teaching with our downloadable educational resources for children and young people ages 3 to 16+. These resources help to learn about and connect with the natural world even if you are unable to visit the garden.
Bees and Other Pollinators
Students will enjoy a day at the Garden observing hardworking pollinators visiting plants from around the world. They will learn how bees work together to support flowering plants, how important they are to humankind, and ways we can help protect them

Students will explore the fascinating world of seed production and seed dispersal with examples from around the world. They will observe how plants in Chelsea Physic Garden spread their seeds and each student will plant a seed to take away.
Plant Hunters
Students will identify and practice the skills needed to be a plant hunter. Students will learn about why people collected plants for the Chelsea Physic Garden, observe how plants have adapted to different environments and discuss what plants can be used for.
Habitats

They will identify how plants have adapted to environments from around the world and investigate creatures living in the pond or the soil as well as creating a minibeast habitat to take away.
