The combination of meadow flowers, topiary and summer-flowering perennials, bulbs and ornamental grasses will form “The Queen’s Garden” situated in the tower’s Bowling Green, Historic Royal Palaces has said. Eva Koch-Schulte, of Historic Royal Palaces, said: “The Queen’s Garden is a really integral part of our plans to mark the Platinum Jubilee at the Tower of London this summer and it seemed only fitting to share news of this tribute from us at Historic Royal Palaces on Her Majesty’s birthday. “In its inspiration, the garden references the tower’s ancient association with coronations while drawing on the best of contemporary horticultural design and British craftsmanship in its creation.” Glass artist Max Jacquard said: “This is a terrifically exciting project to be involved with and we have tried to pay homage to Her Majesty and to Norman Hartnell in the crafting of the emblems embroidered on The Queen’s coronation dress.
