The planting at Grosvenor Square takes a natural, woodland inspired approach, with a mix of trees, shrubs, perennials, bulbs and wetland plants across the garden.
Featuring c.70,000 new plants, 44 new trees, new wetlands and c. 80,000 new bulbs, the square is a natural haven for wildlife and habitats, blending beauty and biodiversity to create a place for visitors and residents to reconnect with nature.
Through the square’s transformation, the planting across the square has increased from 140 square metres to 8,000 square metres.
A beautiful new woodland walk has been created under the mature existing trees at Grosvenor Square, surrounded by a rich tapestry of textures, colours, forms, and silhouettes providing endless opportunities for visitors to immerse themselves in nature in the heart of the West End.
The new oval lawn at Grosvenor Square takes inspiration from original 1720s design by Grosvenor’s Estate Surveyor, Thomas Barlow. The wild flowering lawn will attract pollinators and be a place for visitors to enjoy.
