The exhibit will be part of the “Superbloom” meadow and will feature a combination of meadow flowers, topiary, bulbs, summer flowering perennials and ornamental grasses.
With the expectation that the suit will be for “The Queen’s Garden” and will be based in the Bowling Green Tower.
The new exhibit will also mark and coincide with national celebrations marking the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in early June.

The garden will be inspired by the monarch’s coronation robe in 1953, designed by British fashion designer Sir Norman Hartnell, with lavender and a mix of summer flowers making up the design.
As her coronation robe was a robe of white satin, encrusted with diamonds, gold and silver bullion, seed beads, crystals, pale amethysts, and sequins to create a shimmering effect.
The flower display will be in bloom ready for the start of the Jubilee weekend and will remain in place until September.
Also part of the Superbloom, there will be a sea of flowers filling the moat of the Tower of London.
Eva Koch-Schulte, from Historic Royal Palaces, said: “The Queen’s Garden is really an integral part of our plans to mark the Platinum Jubilee at the Tower of London this summer and it seemed only fitting to share some news of this tribute from us to historic Royal Palaces on Her Majesty’s birthday.”
