This book unveils the story of Buckingham Palace's gardens, a leafy, thirty-nine acre oasis in the heart of London. It charts the garden's evolution from James I's mulberry tree plantation, through the ownership of eccentric figures, to its present-day splendour.
The book meticulously catalogues the garden's features: the terrace, lawns, lake, trees, flowers and ornaments, while exploring its diverse wildlife. From birds and fish to spiders and insects, the author reveals the surprising array of creatures that thrive within the palace walls. Based on extensive research and privileged access, this volume offers a unique perspective on a hidden gem of British history and horticulture. It will appeal to gardeners, history enthusiasts, and anyone intrigued by the secrets held within Royal gardens.
