The Queen Elizabeth II Garden in The Regent’s Park features on BBC Gardeners’ World this Friday 17th April at 8pm.
In this one-hour special, Monty Don explores the new garden designed by HTA for The Royal Parks to commemorate the life of Queen Elizabeth II.
The garden opens a two-acre former store yard to the public for the first time in over 100 years. This new space sits in harmony with the park’s Grade I listed traditional landscape, and responds to our changing climate by being highly adaptable and resilient.
Sustainable practices have guided the garden’s development. The central idea underpinning both the design and its aesthetic is the reuse of materials arising from the demolition of the site’s greenhouses, resulting in an estimated 80% reduction in embodied carbon.
