Chelsea Physic Garden is a historic botanic garden in London, founded in 1673 by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries to train apprentices in medicinal plants. It preserves a living collection of more than 4,500 edible, useful, and medicinal species. Located along the River Thames in London, it is the oldest botanic garden in the city and functions as an educational and scientific resource. Its programs include courses for adults and activities for schoolchildren, engaging thousands of learners each year. In 2023, it partnered with Queer Botany to offer online botanical drawing sessions, interpretive displays, and guided tours related to LGBTQ+ histories.
