    Just the tonic

    Overlooking the River Thames on Chelsea Embankment, the four-acre Chelsea Physic Garden is a true, an endangered relative from Mauritius that is now one of just 300 individual plants. Last month the Garden was awarded a £680,700 National Lottery Heritage Fund Grant to restore these historic teak and iron houses that have stood since 1902. Once restored, not only will the glasshouses provide the best growing environment for the plants, but the restoration project will also include improvements to make the glasshouses more accessible and enable the Garden team to use these iconic buildings to host a range of activities and workshops. The restoration work should be completed in 2023 – just in time for the Garden’s 350th anniversary.
