During the visit, The Princess Royal was shown the garden’s design features, including a circular wildlife‑supporting pond, climate‑resilient planting and a viewing platform overlooking The Regent’s Park.
“Her Royal Highness met members of the garden project team and the gardeners responsible for its creation, and unveiled a plaque to mark the official opening. The garden, which commemorated the life and service of Queen Elizabeth II, was scheduled to open to the public later that month,” said the statement.
