South London Botanical Institute
The Garden
London's smallest botanic garden sits behind the South London Botanical Institute. It's densely planted with more than 500 labelled species in themed borders. Plants used in pharmaceutical and popular herbal remedies and research can be found in the Medicinal Border. Plants from New Zealand include a rare endangered coastal shrub, a leafless clematis and a rare Sophora tree. British natives, ferns, mosses, scented and drought-tolerant plants and also feature. A pond supports native wetland plants and provides a habitat for frogs and newts.Head gardener: Sarah Davey
