	Chelsea Physic Garden - Sarah Maguire
		Chelsea Physic Garden was founded in 1673 by the Worshipful Society of the Apothecaries of London.
		Chelsea is a small garden - three-and-a-half acres (two hectares) - close to the Chelsea Embankment, which is one of the appealing aspects of working there as the poet in residence.
		Chelsea, on the other hand, whilst undeniably ‘beautiful’ is unusual in that the visitor is always conscious this is a ‘working’ garden; that the plants are there not for pleasure (simply) but for their function.

	Chelsea Physic Garden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chelsea Physic Garden was established as the Apothecaries’ Garden in London in 1673.
		Its rock garden is the oldest English garden devoted to alpine plants.
		Jealously guarded during the tenure of the Society of Apothecaries, in 1983 the Garden became a registered charity and was opened to the general public for the first time.

	Timely cures: a new pharmaceutical garden in an old one
		During the 18th century, under the curatorship of Philip Miller, the garden became one of the best-known botanical gardens in Europe and was the centre of plant introductions from the parts of the world that were being discovered and colonised by the British.
		Unfortunately, the garden became rather neglected by the Society of Apothecaries and in 1837 John Lindley, the praefectus horti (or director) strongly criticised the state of the medicinal plants, the lack of names and the fact that they were vastly outnumbered by non-medicinal species.
		The physic garden is beautifully laid out and is very small, but containing over 6,000 species of plants, so it is a perfect place to spend one or two hours reflecting on both the historical and modern aspects of the value of plants to pharmacy in a tranquil corner of a busy part of London.

	Chelsea Physic Garden
		The Apothecaries' Physic Garden at Chelsea was founded as an educational enterprise; it was also established in conjunction with the possession of the Society's first ceremonial barge.
		In 1722 Sir Hans Sloane, who had purchased the Manor of Chelsea in 1713, conveyed the garden to the Apothecaries for £5 per annum, on condition that 50 new plants (in the form of dried specimens) grown in the Physic Garden were submitted to the Royal Society every year.
		Chelsea Physic Garden, now an independent charity but with a representative of the Society on the Board, remains true to the principles of its foundation: the promotion and study of Botany through general education, scientific instruction and research.

		Perhaps it was the attraction of the Physic Garden that influenced the choice of the Huguenot market gardeners who settled in Chelsea when they were driven from their own country by the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685.
