About the Savill Garden
The Savill Garden was commissioned by King George V and created from 1932 by Eric Savill, Deputy Ranger of Windsor Great Park, who was later knighted for his work. It began as a woodland garden in an enclosed corner of the park and first opened to paying visitors in the early 1950s.
Today it covers 35 acres of woodland, lawns and themed gardens managed by the Crown Estate. Visitors enter through the Savill Building, opened in 2006, a visitor centre with a timber gridshell roof made from wood grown on the Windsor Estate. Together with the nearby Valley Gardens, the garden is Grade I listed on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
