In an Apothecary Garden

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

The Chelsea Physic
Garden was established by the Society of Apothecaries in 1673. The garden predates its most famous counterpart - Kew Gardens - by nearly 100 years, yet most people have never heard of it. Marjorie Lofthouse looks at the work and history of this
17th-century garden which appears, outwardly, to have changed little since its foundation.
