If you’re walking through Mayfair this month, it’s worth taking a stroll through Grosvenor Square, which has been filled to the brim with 25,000 illuminated white roses and called the Ever After Garden.
Garden of remembrance
The stunning installation was developed by accessories designer Anya Hindmarch and fashion writer Camilla Morton. But it’s more than just your average flower show: the Ever After Garden was designed in memory of those who have lost their lives to cancer and aims to raise funds for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
Glowing roses for everyone
The entrance to the garden is free but visitors are invited to dedicate a rose to a treasured loved one and to make a donation starting from £10. Since its first creation in 2019 the Ever After Garden has raised over £450,000. Last year alone more than £200,000 were collected. The installation is eco-friend as all the roses are carefully reused and recycled every year.
A moment of quiet reflection
The garden’s launch sponsored by Event Partner Rosewood London was attended by actor Bill Nighy, who cut the ribbon to officially open this beautiful place for visitors. It’s nice to have such an idyllic escape amid the hustle and bustle of London’s streets.
