Dilston Physic Garden

About

Recognised for our expertise in plant medicine and our scientific research, Dilston Physic Garden is a 2-acre oasis of natural habitat featuring 700 European medicinal species, each accompanied by signboards with their up-to-date medicinal properties and mechanisms of action, all rooted in rigorous scientific evidence. Dilston is not just a botanical garden to visit, but a living physic garden. As a charity we are devoted to educating on the scientific research into, and the therapeutic use of, medicinal plants for health, medicine, and mental well-being. Dilston is truly a garden for mind, body, and spirit. The organic garden design provides a tranquil space for relaxation and inspiration. As you embark on your journey of botanical discovery, wander the meadow and labyrinth, relax on our chamomile lawn and clear your mind in the meditation hut. The whole garden is lovingly cared for by volunteers.
