WELCOME to the SLBI website                                            
 N.B. The Institute is closed to the public on Thursdays during April and June whilst building works take place, but Plant Sale, NGS and Open Garden Squares Open Days and Courses will continue as normal    
The Institute provides facilities for the study of plants including ecology and conservation, and aims to encourage interest in all aspects of plant life.

Since its inception in 1910, the Institute has enabled many to develop a satisfying and absorbing interest, become better botanists, pursue their own studies, share their knowledge with like-minded individuals and contribute to our natural heritage.

Opening Times:
Thursdays 10am - 4pm
Other times by appointment: Telephone 020 8674 5787
Closed in August
