The French gardens, created through George IV in the 1820s, will welcome those who wish to appreciate the well-maintained lawns, colorful flower beds and carved topiry of the open space.
During World War II, the gardens were dug to grow produce and the Queen, then Princess Elizabeth and her sister, Princess Margaret, were assigned to a small site to grow tomatoes, sweet corn and dwarf beans.
Richard Williams, Windsor Castle’s learning curator said about the gardens: “Well, it’s been a great favourite for members of the royal family for just coming up to 200 years which is when it was first laid out by George IV.”
Mr Williams told BBC Breakfast: “Queen Victoria had a wonderful affection for her because her husband, Prince Albert, was concerned about design.
“And this is also vital for Her Majesty the Queen, because during the war years, the total lawn was unearthed to grow vegetables, and the young princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret had their own individual plots to grow vegetables for war. Effort.”
“And I think the other meaning for the Queen is that in 1971 it was the Duke of Edinburgh who designed the lawn as we see it today, with the parterres and the beautiful fountain in the centre.
The East Terrace Garden was first designed for George IV through architect Sir Jeffry Wyatville between 1824 and 1826, to provide a charming view from the king’s new royal apartment suite along the castle’s east facade.
It was created on the site of an old ball field, made for Charles II in the 1670s, with plants imported for the wonderful assignment, adding 34 orange trees sent through the French monarch Charles X.
Victoria wrote in her journal about Albert’s efforts to organize the design of the open space: “Albert is busy every day… to oversee the lawn planting inside the terrace.
“The plots used to be so spoiled and in ruins, but now they are very arranged with laurustinus, berries…”
In 1971, Philip redesigned the flower beds and commissioned a new bronze lotus fountain founded on his own design for the middle of the garden, and a few years later, public access stopped.
Today, he cut domes and parterres from 3,500 rose bushes planted in a geometric trend around the central detail of the duke’s water.
The East Terrace Garden is included with a front of Windsor Castle on weekends in August and September on Saturday.
