One of the largest private gardens in London, the Buckingham Palace garden occupies a unique place in the geographical context of London and in the social and constitutional history of Britain. Renowned garden historian Jane Brown presents the story of the garden from its beginnings as a seventeenth-century mulberry plantation frequented by Samuel Pepys to the role it plays today in the private and public life of the Royal Family. The first royal event held in the Buckingham Palace garden was a surprise fireworks presentation for George Ill's birthday in 1763; in 2002, the Queen's Golden Jubilee concerts were staged on the lawn, with thousands of people in attendance and millions more watching on television. Drawing on previously unpublished material in the Royal Archives, the book uses maps, plans, paintings, and drawings to illustrate the garden's evolution, from formal plantation to eighteenth-century landscape, from Victorian shrubbery to the contemporary "walled oasis in the middle of London," with 350 species of wildflowers and an exceptional variety of bird and animal life.
