Root around in history |
Lambeth Palace Road London, London SE1 7LB +44 20 7401 8865 http://www.cix.co.uk/~museumgh/ |
The Museum of Garden History is the ideal place for garden enthusiasts to explore the history of plants and shrubs, famous gardeners and plant hunters, major British and world gardens, and all other things horticultural. The museum, housed in the historic church of St Mary-at-Lambeth, was founded by the Tradescant Trust in 1977. The trust is named after the gardeners of Charles I and II, who brought back from their plant-hunting travels many of our familiar shrubs and trees. The museum's churchyard contains a re-creation of a historic knot garden and the graves of many famous people, including six Archbishops and John Smith (of Pocahontas fame). The museum has a coffee shop, and a gift shop selling a range of souvenirs and books. There is a public car park within walking distance, with unrestricted parking at weekends and in the evenings.
