The City of London unveiled its new bicentennial peony bed today. Special thanks was given to our own Sherry Dailey for the information she shared with the city on the history of how the peony came to be London's civic flower in 1919.
Today we officially unveiled the Bicentennial Peony Garden at Rayner Gardens in the Civic Gardens Complex.
This new space celebrates London’s Civic Flower and highlights the city’s rich horticultural heritage through three interpretive signs honouring A. Percy Saunders and Lyman Cousins.
As part of London’s Bicentennial, the garden is a lasting legacy that will continue to grow and evolve over time.
Thank you to all who joined us in marking this special milestone.
