Catching up on #BakeOff and it’s seems the producers have been inspired after a trip to the Cool Fernery @ChelsPhysicGdn #CustardCream

[Frances Sampayo @FSampers]

@scots_cat @ChelsPhysicGdn I’m sure there are other botanical biscuits we can get in the Garden 🪴 🍪 😂

[Frances Sampayo @FSampers]

Really excited to be recruiting an Interpretation Manager to help us tell the stories of @ChelsPhysicGdn in an inclusive and accessible way. Plants are an intrinsic part of all our lives, and you can help us celebrate their importance https://t.co/hq7AKEKFM1

Have you ever wondered if there's any significance in the design of a Custard Cream biscuit?

A biscuity thread...

[Frances Sampayo @FSampers]

@TheChiefCheese @ianvisits Thank you for sharing!!

We've absolutely loved shining a spotlight on this incredible artist as part of our 350 Trail and International Women's Day Celebrations. A Curious Herbal has to be one of the most spectacular books produced in the 1700s #ElizabethBlackwell

[British Library @britishlibrary]

Spring is here and some of our favourite flowers are in bloom – but what do you know about botanical properties?

Enter ‘Botanica Blackwellia’, otherwise known as Elizabeth Blackwell, a remarkable woman who penned and illustrated the book, A Curious Herbal, from 1737-39 🌱

[Frances Sampayo @FSampers]

Happy #LunarNewYear to everyone celebrating 🎉 Highly recommend going on a @ChinaExchangeUK tour of China Town if you’re London based.

[Frances Sampayo @FSampers]

If you want to show some NHS Solidarity today, support @EveryDoctorUK and maybe buy a couple of bags of coffee for those heroes doing their best to keep us in good health ☕️

[EveryDoctor @EveryDoctorUK]

NHS staff are working under unbelievable pressure, and we are showing them that we support them. If you order a lovely bag of our ‘support coffee’ here, we’ll post it to a staff member as a gesture of solidarity 💙

Thank you so much! (Ad)

What a #superstar I would love to see a Kingfisher in the wild. Maybe I’ll see one during the #BigGardenBirdWatch this year 🦢 🦩🕊️🦜
