2017 marks 20 years since the tragic death of Princess Diana.
To mark the event, in February Kensington Palace launched a special exhibition titled "Diana: Her Fashion Story" to celebrate the life and style of Princess Diana.
The exhibition, hosted at Princess Diana's former home of over 15 years, displays outfits from throughout her life in the public eye, from evening gowns in the 80s to Catherine Walker suits in the 90s, as well as original fashion sketches.
Now, the Palace has opened "The White Garden" in its Sunken Garden to complement the exhibition, "planted with flowers and foliage inspired by memories of the Princess’s life, image and style," according to the Palace's website.

The temporary garden includes tulips, scented narcisii, and a carpet of 'forget me nots,' one of Diana's favourite flowers. Pots of English roses, grasses, Cosmos daisies, and Gaura are due to be added around the reflective pool in the summer.
Visitors can view the garden until September for free from a public walkway.

Head gardener Sean Harkin said that his idea for the garden, which has been in planning for the past 18 months, came through talking to gardeners who used to work at the Palace.
"[They told me] that when Princess Diana used to live here she would come by the garden and she would admire the floral displays in here. As they changed through spring and summer she would have a chat with them and it seemed a very special memory, so it seemed that we should do something this year to celebrate that memory."
Graham Dillamore, Gardens & Estates Manager at the Historic Royal Palaces, said: "I've been working in this garden now for over 30 years. I can often remember seeing her run past the garden very early in the morning, and if it was quiet she might pop in and say hello and compliment us on the colour schemes we were doing."

"We wanted to create something that was very elegant and simple, but also joyful," Harkin added. Along with the predominant white and cream colour scheme, yellows, pinks, deep purples, and silver also feature.
"The idea for that came from the dresses in the exhibition."
