Our gardening team are continually refreshing and renewing the plantings, displays and landscaping of The Savill Garden - pushing the boundaries of its design. Yet still respecting the legacy of Sir Eric Savill – founder of The Savill Garden and former Deputy Ranger of The Park – and the work he undertook with the support of George V and VI.

Plant hunters have journeyed across the globe to source these plants, and later to breed them into the familiar cultivars that we enjoy in the Garden today. From the vibrant summer blooms of Paeonia ‘Augstin d’Hour’ from China, to the clove-scented flowers of the Daphne bholua ‘Jacqueline Postill’, which come originally from the Himalayas and flower during the winter months.

The award-winning Savill Building serves as a visitor centre for The Savill Garden and wider Great Park. It was opened in 2006 by H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh, Ranger of Windsor Great Park for almost 70 years. The wooden grid shell architecture, designed by Glenn Howells, was constructed from sustainable timber sources from within the Great Park.

Its undulating oak roof has been shaped to look like a rippling leaf, and blends seamlessly with the tall mature oak trees surrounding its perimeter. The Savill Building measures an impressive 90 metres long and has won a number of architectural awards - including the International Architecture Award - Chicago Athenaeum, Museum of Architecture and Design 2008, and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Regional and National awards 2007.
