London's oldest botanical garden
the physic garden was essentially re-founded after the Apothecaries were granted a lease in virtual perpetuity by Sir Hans Sloane, who had purchased the Chelsea Manor in 1712. Sloane appointed Philip Miller as Gardener; numerous notable horticulturists are associated with the Physic Garden. The garden contains probably the oldest man-made rock garden in Europe and other features include a Historical Walk of plants introduced by past curators, Victorian fernhouse and glasshouses with Mediterranean plant collections.
