Walk down Church Street in the ancient market town of Cowbridge and behind a high stone wall lies Cowbridge Physic Garden. The garden was originally part of the Old Hall Gardens, laid out by the Edmondes family in the 18th century. Badly neglected in the 20th century it was brought back to life by enthusiastic volunteers and today is a glorious array of medicinal plants and herbs, typical of physic gardens from centuries past.

The Physic Garden of the Worshipful Company of Barbers at Barber-Surgeons’ Hall is sheltered by a medieval bastion that was added to the City of London's Roman wall. It holds a selection of 45 plants from Gerard's Herbal, as Gerard was Master of their Company. The dash of colour is Rosa gallica var. officinalis, the Apothecary's Rose and the Red Rose of Lancaster. They have an excellent guide online the only information on site is the names and provenance of the plants.

The Chelsea Physic Garden was established as the Apothecaries’ Garden in London, England, in 1673. (The word "Physic" here refers to the science of healing.) This physic garden is the second oldest botanical garden in Britain, after the University of Oxford Botanic Garden, which was founded in 1621.
Its rock garden is the oldest English garden devoted to alpine plants. The largest fruiting olive tree in Britain is there, protected by the garden’s heat-trapping high brick walls, along with what is doubtless the world’s northernmost grapefruit growing outdoors. Jealously guarded during the tenure of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries, in 1983 the Garden became a registered charity[1] and was opened to the general public for the first time. The garden is a member of the London Museums of Health & Medicine.
