The British Garden at Hanover Square
The British Garden in Hanover Square, New York City, is a fantastic example of the strong links between the UK and the United States. The garden – which is a gift to the city and people of New York and has His Royal Highness Prince Charles as its patron – is close to Ground Zero and is in an area of the city with significant historical associations with the UK.
The mission of The British Garden at Hanover Square, New York, is to develop and maintain a showplace garden in New York reflecting the long history, shared friendship and common causes and sacrifices of the peoples of the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
With the motto "Reflect, Remember, Rebuild.. ", The British Garden celebrates the strong ties of the past and present, the hope for unity in the future and a promise never to forget those whom we have lost along the way.
