The historic botanical Chelsea Physic Garden opens its gates for a charming walk through nature and a chance to pick up some Christmas gifts. Laid out in the 17th century, the gardens were initially intended as a place to grow medicinal plants for the Royal Hospital just up the road, taking advantage of its mild micro-climate which allows non-native species to flourish. You're welcome to wander on your own through the charming collection of flowers and plants from across the globe. But opt for a guided tour and you can tap into a rich vein of history and some green fingered anecdotes. The three and a half acre site on the banks of the Thames is a wonderful spot for this Christmas Fair which sees a shopping marquee full of stalls selling jewellery, cashmere, gloves, bags, tasty treats and loads more. Don't worry about keeping the kids entertained either, they'll be plenty of activities for them too, and everyone can join in with the carol singing.About Chelsea Physic Garden
The largest fruiting olive tree in Britain and the world's northern-most outdoor grapefruit tree call the historic Chelsea Physic Gardens home. Hidden behind towering brick walls, protected from the city's sounds and harsh breezes, the most idyllic collection of plants flourish in a unique, carefully created microclimate.
