According to their website (http://www.chelseaphysicgarden.co.uk/), the Garden was founded in 1673 by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries for the purpose of training apprentices in identifying plants.

I highly recommend a visit to this tranquil space but in the meantime, here are some photos from my visit:
