The garden layout echoes that of the Tower of London, with light-coloured limestone paving reflecting the stonework of the White Tower and architectural elements of Hampton Court Palace. At the heart of the garden, a continuous rill represents the Tower of London's historic moat. A central, asymmetrical pavilion, inspired by the decorative ceiling of the Picnic Room in Queen Charlotte's Cottage, Kew Palace, provides a sheltered area for relaxing and entertaining. The planting palette is rich, bold and luxurious. Shades of purple evoke the iridescent feathers of the Tower's iconic ravens and the colour variations of grapes from Hampton Court's Great Vine. Deep red tones reference the Damask wallpaper found at both Hampton Court and Kensington Palaces. Relocation of the garden will be sponsored by Boodles, with most of the soft landscaping scheme being rehomed and redesigned for the 20th Century Garden at Hampton Court Palace. The remaining garden features and most of the hard landscape elements are to be included in a new design at one of Historic Royal Palace's community and charity partners' sites. Catherine and Boodles will be working closely with the Historic Royal Palaces' team to ensure that the redesigned gardens work in their new environments.
