At the Garden, the King and Queen presented the first ever 'The Elizabeth Medal of Honour', which is for British non-horticulturists, and International non-horticulturists and horticulturists who have made a significant impact to the advancement of the science, art or practice of horticulture for the benefit of all generations and the environment.

The Medal will be confined to 70 recipients at any one time in reference to the 70 years of Her Majesty’s reign.

Recipients are world-renowned garden designer Piet Oudolf, the Right Honourable the Baroness Janet Fookes DBE and environmental champion Judy Ling Wong CBE.
