Youth Engagement
Young Community Gardeners
In Summer 2026, Chelsea Physic Garden is trialling a pilot scheme for young people aged 19 – 25. Young Community Gardeners will take part in practical gardening in the Community Garden with a focus on supporting biodiversity and sustainability. They will also explore the therapeutic benefits of being in nature and switching off from the outside world. Click here for more information and to apply.

Young Producers
Chelsea Physic Garden’s Young Producers was made of 10 people, aged 16-24, who represented a broad range of young people living, studying or working in London. The Young Producers collaborated with Garden staff to deliver creative youth-led outputs that are attractive for younger audiences.


Plants Have Secrets: Digital Youth Project
Between 2021 and 2023 Chelsea Physic Garden collaborated with Octavia Foundation to develop and deliver free digital activities for people aged 13 to 19. The activity weeks took place once a year at both the Garden and at the Octavia Foundation centre in Ladbroke Grove.
