The American Garden

The American Garden, located between the Sexby Garden and the Lake, is now open. The Garden has been replanted with trees, shrubs and eye-catching, nectar-rich herbaceous plants of a kind first introduced to Britain through the world famous 18th century seed and plant exchange between Britain’s Peter Collinson, FRS and John Bartram of Philadelphia. The funding of the garden was supported by the US Embassy, Lord Harris, Southwark Council, the Friends of Peckham Rye Park., the Local Postcode Trust and Vindor. The project was overseen by Nancy Coleman-Frank.
