History
Originally planned as The British Memorial Garden, it was officially named The British Garden at Hanover Square by Prince Harry on May 29, 2009.[2] On May 2, 2012, it was renamed the Queen Elizabeth II September Template:Not a typo Garden at a rededication ceremony led by the Dean of Westminster Abbey. This was to include victims of other Commonwealth of Nations member countries who died in the September 11 attacks.[3][4]
Design
The original idea for the garden came from Isabel and Julian Bannerman.[5] Lynden Miller and Ronda M. Brands, both garden designers, later helped choose and plan the layout of plants and shrubs for the space.[5]
