In 1997 leading plantswoman Penelope Hobhouse, created a new garden within the 19th century walled garden to commemorate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother’s tenure as Lord Warden and to celebrate her 95th birthday. It is designed along classical lines reflecting Hobhouse's deep interest in Islamic gardens, a tranquil combination of still water, rich planting and cool shade. The elegant arched pavilion is reflected in the rectangular pool and surrounded by deep borders with sculptural plants such as tall, purple headed Cardoons, deep blue Agapanthus, purple Verbena, scented roses and mauve Alliums. In the late spring large terracotta pots are full of brightly coloured tulips and the Paul's Scarlet Hawthorn trees round the outside are full of rich red blossom.
