Physic Garden

A few weeks ago - we visited a local garden one night after work. The Chelsea Physic Garden was founded in the late 1600's and is an apothecaries' garden.


It's a true English Garden - with formal paths, dense patches of plants that seem to be falling over each other, but with an air of formality.

Each summer there are a few nights where they allow local Chelsea residents to enter after hours. There is a quaint restaurant, with tables out on the grass and under trees, filled with people, bottles of wine and rustic food. It was a charming discovery - right in our neighborhood!

Pictures are here.
