A garden from the RHS Chelsea Flower Show will be relocated to Cambridge.
The Bridgerton Garden is being moved to Cambridge University Hospitals after the show, for patients and staff to enjoy.
Designed by first-time designer Holly Johnston, the garden celebrates season three of the global hit programme, with beautiful planting and exceptional hard landscaping.
A spokesperson for Cambridge University Hospitals said: “We are delighted that the wonderful Bridgerton Garden will be moving to Cambridge, and we are very grateful to Netflix and Shondaland for making this possible.
"We have many staff who are fans of the series. The garden will be located in a courtyard within the hospital grounds and we are looking forward to it delighting patients, staff and visitors when they visit Addenbrooke’s and The Rosie Hospitals.
"Supporting this garden project is part of our commitment to the importance of wellbeing and therapeutic environments.”
Described as a secretive and secluded space, The Bridgerton Garden is based on Penelope Featherington, a wallflower-like character from the series.
The garden has been designed to reflect Penelope’s personal journey – the garden’s initial focus is a moongate which leads to an ornate water feature and sunken seating area in the heart of the garden.
Netflix will work with landscape contractors Stewart Landscapes (who built the garden at the show), designer Holly and Cambridge University Hospitals to recreate the garden at a central outdoor area.
Viewed on all four sides, the garden will be a substantial addition to the outside space for patients and staff.
Holly Johnston, designer of the garden said: “I’m thrilled that the garden will live on at CUH and be used by staff, patients, visitors and the public.
"WT Partnership have been key in bringing the garden to Cambridge through their CSR programme, and will continue to project manage the relocation.”
The relocation of this garden will be made possible by Netflix and Shondaland, Stewart Landscapes, Holly Johnston Design, WT Partnership and Cambridge University Hospitals.
