When he died in 1547 Henry VIII had more than 60 houses, but – in the second half of his reign – none were more important to him, nor more sumptuously decorated, than Hampton Court Palace

Modelul grădinilor provine în cea mai mare parte din epoca lui Christopher Wren care a creat pentru regele William şi regina Mary un vast peisaj baroc cu alei radiale

Queen Mary II in particular loved plants from all over world and exotics from the Mediterranean, Virginia, Mauritius and the New World, were brought to Britain by the Dutch East India Company and displayed at Hampton Court Palace.
