The Royal Parks charity has revealed that work is now underway to transform a disused plant nursery in the heart of the park into a beautiful two-acre garden, which is set to open in 2026, to mark what would have been the late Queen's 100th birthday. The garden will reference Queen Elizabeth's life and service by using plants significant to the late monarch or with royal associations.
Flowers such as specially bred Narcissus, used at the Diamond Jubilee, or Tulipa used at royal celebrations. It will also include the late monarch's, who died last September at the age of 96, preferred plants like lily of the valley. The garden, designed by HTA Design LLP and their team including Horticulturalist Dr Noel Kingsbury and Tate + Co architects, will complement nearby historic gardens, drawing inspiration from their design principles while introducing innovative sustainability practices.
