Royal Botanic Society (original) (raw)
The Royal Botanic Society was a learned society founded in 1839 by James de Carle Sowerby under a royal charter to the Duke of Norfolk and others. Its purpose was to promote "botany in all its branches, and its applications." Soon after it was established, it leased the grounds within the Inner Circle in Regent's Park, London, about 18 acres (7.3 ha), for use as an experimental garden. Sowerby remained as secretary for some 30 years, and J. B. Sowerby and W. Sowerby later also served as secretaries. The garden was open to members and their guests and also to the general public for a fee on certain days of the week. It included large palm-houses and a water-lily house. In the summer, flowershows, fetes, and other entertainments were held there.

In the summer, flowershows, fetes, and other entertainments were held there. In 1932 it failed to secure a renewal of the lease, and the Society was dissolved. Its surviving records were deposited in the St. Marylebone Public Library. The site became Queen Mary's Gardens, which is run by the Royal Parks Agency, and is fully open to the general public without charge as part of Regent's Park.

Son but était de promouvoir « la botanique dans toutes ses branches et ses applications ». Peu de temps après sa création, la société a loué le terrain du cercle intérieur de Regent's Park, à Londres, sur environ 7,3 ha, pour l'utiliser comme jardin expérimental. Sowerby est resté secrétaire pendant environ 30 ans, et JB Sowerby et W. Sowerby ont également été secrétaires. Le jardin était ouvert aux membres et à leurs invités ainsi qu'au grand public moyennant des frais certains jours de la semaine. Il comprenait de grandes palmeraies et une maison de nénuphars. En été, des salons de fleurs, des fêtes et d'autres divertissements y ont eu lieu. En 1932, elle n'a pas réussi à obtenir un renouvellement du bail et la société a été dissoute. Son dossier survivant a été déposé à la bibliothèque publique de St. Marylebone. Le site est devenu Queen Mary's Gardens, géré par la , et est entièrement ouvert au public sans frais dans le cadre de Regent's Park. (fr) |
