Statue in the Queen's Garden at Kew Gardens in Surrey, London
The Queen's Garden is a seventeenth-century-style garden situated behind Kew Palace. At one time, the site was not cultivated because the area was regularly flooded by the River Thames. In 1959, Sir George Taylor, then the Director of the Gardens, decided to create a garden whose style matched that of the palace. Work began in 1963 and, in 1969, the Garden was officially opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
