"Every element of the space is imbued with meaning, with a strong central axis reflecting the late queen's unwavering service and duty, while other areas represent her roles as a mother, a wife, a woman."
"Plant choices were inspired by her personal favourites and associations with royal residences, including some of her favourite flowers, such as lily of the valley, and different agapanthus varieties known for royal residences."
"The design includes a woodland walk inspired by the Queen's reported enjoyment of a secluded path in the gardens of Buckingham Palace Gardens, along with a hidden corgi inside a water tower."
The Queen Elizabeth II Garden in Regent's Park has opened after two years of development. This two-acre garden commemorates the late monarch's life and public service. Designed by Katharine Erme, it features a central axis symbolizing her service, while other areas represent her roles as a mother and wife. Plant selections reflect her favorites, including lily of the valley and magnolias. The garden also includes a woodland walk and a hidden corgi, celebrating her affection for the breed and her connection to the Chelsea Flower Show.
