The Olympic Park’s riverside garden celebrates centuries of British passion for plants; the garden stretches for half a mile between the Park’s most icon venues the Aquatics Centre and the Olympic Stadium. Over 60,000 plants, grasses, herbs and flowers from across the world have been grown in an Ashford nursery and planted along with 60,000 bulbs.
For the second year running the riverbanks around the Olympic Stadium meadows are blooming with cornflowers, marigolds, Californian poppies and prairie flowers, especially designed and sown to flower gold just in time for the Opening Ceremony.
Olympic Delivery Authority Chairman John Armitt said: ‘The 2012 Garden and wildflower meadows will help create a festival atmosphere right at the entrance to the Olympic Park during and after the Games. The riverside gardens are a colourful celebration of the British passion for gardening as well as the world-leading work of the UK horticultural companies helping to create this fantastic new Park.'
