The Queen Elizabeth II Garden
On the Royal Parks website there is an article about the creation of a new garden in The Regent’s Park to commemorate the life of Queen Elizabeth II.
“The garden has transformed disused plant nursery into a beautiful tranquil two-acre garden, with significant benefits to nature. Where disused glasshouses once stood, a beautiful new garden now takes its place within one of London’s finest landscapes.”
