Buckingham Palace: A Royal Garden

The royal garden of Buckingham Palace—a hidden oasis in the center of London—has been shaped by the tastes and skills of numerous monarchs and gardeners over the centuries. Today the garden plays a key part in the busy calendar of royal events, including the much-loved tradition of The Queen’s Garden Party. This working garden grows and develops through the changing seasons, accommodating a diverse array of flora and fauna, from the National Collection of Mulberries to the royal beehives. This volume is a guide to the garden, with photography, insights from Head Gardener Mark Lane, and tips on activities such as mulberry harvesting and winter bouquets. It offers atmospheric photography, royal anecdotes, and an engaging narrative from gardening author Claire Masset.
