As a part of A Dash of Lavender: Celebrating LGBTQ+ history month with Queer Botany, there will be a guided tour of the Chelsea Physic Garden. Take a walk through the Garden with Sixto-Juan Zavala, the founder of Queer Botany. We will be stopping at plants and design interventions and sharing stories from a queer perspective. As part of a less hierarchical experience, we invite you to bring your own knowledge and stories about plants to share as well. 

For LGBTQ+ History Month Chelsea Physic Garden is collaborating with Queer Botany to look at plants and the Garden through a queer botanical lens. Queer Botany aims to share marginalised perspectives, support more diverse representations in the environment and outdoors, and affirm connections between queerness and plants.
