About this product

Product Information

Set within the 4,500 acres of Windsor Great Park, the Savill and Valley Gardens were largely the creation of Sir Eric Savill, with the active encouragement of George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. Part of what is now the Savill Garden was in 1932 a small estate nursery for the production of park trees: Eric Savill was appointed Deputy Surveyor in 1932 and in 1951, by command of King George VI, the Bog Garden was named the Savill Garden. In 1947 Eric Savill began to develop the area of the Valley Gardens into the wonderful landscape we know today and in 1995 Queen Elizabeth II inaugurated the latest addition to the Savill Garden, the new Temperate House.In The Royal Gardens in Windsor Great Park, Charles Lyte takes the reader on a beautifully illustrated history of these gardens, season by season.
