About
The Plant Library is an extensive educational garden for anyone interested in plants and planting design: whether they be visiting students of horticulture, gardeners, garden designers or school children.
There are over 1500 plant varieties arranged in a grid, where visitors can walk through and see different types of plants grouped together based on their needs (sunlight, moisture etc.). Each group has a QR code to help visitors identify over 1100 herbaceous plants and 400 varieties of bulbs. The library is constantly being updated with new plants and serves as a resource to learn about plant design and different species.
Free event for adults and children aged 3+.
This event is part of the Sustainable September Celebration 2024 taking place in collaboration with RBKC Libraries. Explore loads more FREE events.
