Garden Museum (formerly Museum of Garden History)

A small re-created seventeenth century knot garden in a former churchyard. It commemorates two famous gardeners whose tomb is also there. John Tradescant and his son were gardners to Charles I and II - and were adventurous plant hunters. The garden adjoins the Garden Museum. It has a sweet modern courtyard with a cloister-like character, designed by Dan Pearson.

The Garden Museum is on the London Gardens Walk and included in the eBook guide to the London Gardens Walk
