The tension between the impact of travel and tourism along with the need to conserve and care for the planet carries responsibilities.   This discussion and illustrated talk takes a closer look at our carbon footprint and the impact we have on the environment, along with learning about inspiring initiatives that are taking place to safeguard plants.
Presented by Keith Richards BA, PGCSB, Cambridge, the afternoon lecture will run from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Following the talk we have arranged for a guided tour of the gardens, to be led by our dear friend and former trustee Louise Aspinall.  Situated in the heart of London, this ‘Secret Garden’ is a centre of education, beauty and relaxation. Chelsea Physic Garden was founded by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries of London in 1673 for its apprentices to study the medicinal qualities of plants. Throughout the 1700s it was one of the most important centres of botany and plant exchange in the world. It is London’s oldest botanic garden and a unique living museum.
If people would like to, we could go for afternoon tea as a group after the event.  This would be at extra cost.
We have a limited quantity of tickets for this special event, priced at £16.00 each (includes a £1 donation to the Wilderness Foundation UK to help with administration costs).    The guided tour is being sponsored by Louise, who is kindly giving her time at no charge.     Tickets will also entitle you to a 10% discount in the garden shop on the day.
