Venue: Chawton House

8 July, 11am

Join Chawton House Garden Volunteer Beth Scott for a tour of our Elizabeth Blackwell Herb Garden.

Learn all about our Elizabeth Blackwell Herb Garden, inspired by Elizabeth Blackwell’s A Curious Herbal (1737-9), a guide to different plants and their uses in medicine. This remarkable work includes Blackwell’s detailed engravings, which she individually hand-coloured. The proceeds from this endeavour secured her husband’s release from debtor’s prison.

This event is free with entry to Chawton House Gardens. Please purchase a ticket for entry in order to access this walk. The walk will begin at 11am at the turning circle in front of the House.
