What to See
When you visit us, here are some of the things you can get up to
Relax, take 2 minutes out, watch a moment of Dilston Physic Garden.
Unwind, take it easy, away from life’s hustle and bustle. Relax on the calming chamomile lawn, wander the medicinal meadow, soak up the sun on the sundial seat, walk the labyrinth or be soothed by the wind sculpture.
Explore medicinal plants and nature. Find plants that have given us cutting edge medical drugs, like the foxglove (giving us the heart drug digoxin) or wander the 100 willow coppice – dedicated to the most used medical drug in the world.
On your way make a wish at the Cloutie Tree, meet the botanical sculptures like Mugwort Goddess and Belladonna and Archangelica and stop by the TimeSpaceZone to see plant medicines used around the world and through history.
Children can visit the Witch’s Den, play croquet, giant chess or plant a magic bean.
