Story

The South London Botanical Institute (SLBI) is a magical place that encourages and enables local schools, families and groups to study plants. As with most places, the SLBI has had to close its doors to schools and visitors due to the Government's lockdown requirements for Covid19. At a time of ecological crisis, when we need more people to learn about the importance and beauty of the plant world, I'm fundraising to help keep this special place thriving.
