- The QEII garden in Regent's Park was created from its former nursery, reusing 1,000 cubic meters of concrete crushed into gravel.
- The garden features slow-growing, deep-rooted plants adapted to high pH soil, enhancing climate resilience and wildlife habitats.
- Design elements include a pergola with 56 uprights representing Commonwealth countries, a refurbished 1960s water tower with nesting boxes, and accessible paths.
- The garden emphasizes sustainability by avoiding landfill and demonstrating brownfield regeneration, aiming to open freely to the public in April 2026.
