Psalms 36:1:9 (KJV)

The Savill Garden is in situated in Windsor Great Park and was created by Eric Savill who, with a few staff started work on the garden in the winter of 1932.

Eric Savill gained the permission  and support of the reigning monarch, George V, to undertake this new enterprise and a site next to an existing tree nursery – Parkside – was selected. Though not immediately obvious, the site was well chosen as the soil was generally of a sandy nature – easily worked and quick to warm up in spring – and fine forest trees, particularly the majestic oaks, provided an invaluable framework for the new garden.*

In 1951 George VI decreed that the Bog Garden should henceforth be known as The Savill Garden in recognition of Eric Savill’s great achievement, which was followed by a knighthood in 1955.*

It is a garden for all seasons, each bringing a different delight. My photographs show the garden in late summer.
