The Lavinia Walk

Leading along the gardens central axis between the Rose Garden and the Temple Garden is the Lavinia Walk which is a new feature of the gardens, and a fitting tribute to Lady Lavinia and her legacy.

The development of this area has transformed the 94m long walk, and incorporates the original footprint of what were the old herbaceous borders. Work began in Spring 2017, with metal edging installed and the beds being marked out in a style similar to a greek key style. Over the following 12 months, the ground preparations were completed including turf edging and soil conditioning.
