Enjoy the tranquillity of Buckingham Palace Garden when it is not usually open to the public and discover its highlights on a guided tour led by one of our expert wardens.
You will be given special access to the whole 39-acre grounds in springtime, when the garden is at its fullest. Throughout the season daffodils, primroses and bluebells will emerge in the meadows and the camellias, magnolias and azaleas around the garden will bloom.
You will learn about the role that William Aiton (then Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew), George IV and Queen Victoria had in shaping the layout of the garden, its wildlife and rare trees and flowers, and the way it is now used by The Queen and other members of the Royal Family. Your tour will end with an opportunity to take pictures by the Palace overlooking the lake.
