1 The Gardens of Regent s University London
2 Regent s University London sits in 11 acres of Crown Estate land within Regent s Park. The site has been dedicated to higher education for more than 100 years, and was originally home to the first college of higher education for women in Britain. 1 The University occupies the site of South Villa, one of the original Regent s Park villas designed by royal architect John Nash in the early 1800s. Bedford Ladies College, founded in nearby Bedford Square by Elizabeth Jesser Reid in 1849, took a Crown lease on the estate in The site is developed Local residents protested and questions were asked in Parliament, but the college persevered in drawing up plans for a purpose-built site. A library, science laboratories and other amenities were designed by architect Basil Champneys in Queen Anne style. The Tate Library was built with 10,000 donated by Lady Amy Tate in memory of her husband Henry, founder of the Tate Gallery. The new college was opened by Queen Mary in Science was at the core of its curriculum, together with the arts and humanities and teacher training. Margaret Tuke and students in the Botany Garden, Miss Tuke was principal of Bedford College from 1907 to 1929
3 2 3 A relaxation gathering for wounded soldiers in about 1915 stood on the site now occupied by the corners of the Darwin and Tuke buildings), was demolished. The South Lodge, on the south-east corner of the estate, is the only part of the original Nash design remaining. The ladies of Bedford College were accommodated in Reid Hall, overlooking the park lake, which still houses Regent s students today. Sport was extremely popular among the young ladies, who established a boating club on the lake and played tennis, hockey, cricket and lacrosse in the grounds. During the First World War, the college held parties for wounded soldiers, known as relaxation gatherings, on the lawn outside Reid Hall. An allotment society was formed and part of the grounds dug up for growing vegetables. The original Champneys design featured buildings occupying three sides of a quadrangle which opened towards the lake. In 1930, the new Tuke Building completed the square and the original South Villa (which Aerial view of the campus from about 1921, showing the new layout designed by Basil Champneys. In the centre is the original South Villa, demolished in 1930 to make way for the Tuke building. In the foreground is the newly laid-out Botany Garden English garden parties became an established summer tradition in the 20th century, many featuring visits from Royalty. Queen Mary and Queen Alexandra were joint patrons of the college, and HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, visited many times as patron between 1953 and HRH The Earl of Athlone (centre) and guests at a garden party in July, In the background are the two halls of residence, originally connected by a loggia
4 5 During the Second World War students were evacuated, but some staff remained. On 10 May 1941, one of last and worst of the great air raids on London destroyed about one-third of the college buildings. Of the original 1913 buildings, the Tate Library remained, together with the Acland building, the halls of residence and the student common room. Extensive rebuilding took place from the mid-1940s to the mid-1960s. In 1966, the Botany Garden laboratories were built to provide space for teaching and research and included a greenhouselaboratory specially designed for radioactive work with plants. Bedford College moved out during the 1980s and in 1984 the Crown lease was taken by Rockford College, Illinois to provide a study-abroad programme for American students. Gradually, other institutions took up residence on the campus, merging into a unified college in In 2013, the institution became Regent s University London, an international campus community with 5,000 students from around 140 countries worldwide, offering a broad range of British and American foundation, degree and postgraduate programmes. The Botany Garden laboratory in about 1980 The Oliver dining hall is destroyed by bombs, 1941 Regent s gardens today A team of five gardeners looks after the gardens today. We also employ a garden apprentice and take volunteer trainees from Thrive, a charity that offers horticultural training and therapy to individual with special needs. The gardens are managed to encourage biodiversity and sustainability. We recycle 99% of our garden waste for use as compost and mulch within the gardens. We have hives with honey bees and grow some of the vegetables and herbs used in the University kitchens. We have also installed green roofs on two of the University buildings (Jebb and Pilcher see plan, centre pages), which help to reduce heat loss. They are full of bees throughout the summer months and are starting to be colonised by native wildflowers like bird s foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) We are planning to build a larger greenhouse so we can start to produce half of our own bedding. We will also be able to grow some cut flowers out of season and around 10-15% of the indoor plants used for displays within the University. Our planting programme over the last few years has focused on replacing some of the evergreen shrubs with more flowering shrubs and herbaceous plants to encourage wildlife. In the past, mainly evergreen species such as viburnum and box were planted, which have little ecological value. A seasonal programme for pruning shrubs is resulting in improved flowers and appearance. We have also planted many thousands of bulbs over the last five years. We have sown a native wildflower meadow in our woodland area, which flowered for the first time in 2013, and we are planning to expand this area over time. Where possible, we try to plant native trees. However as we are in a conservation area, if we remove a plant the local authority may instruct us to plant the same species again, to ensure the gardens are kept true to their historical context.

6 8 9 The gardens are home to a wide variety of tree and shrub specimens from all around the world, some of them rare or unusual. There are a number of memorial trees dedicated to former students and staff. The garden layout remains largely as it has been throughout the 20th century, with many mature trees, shrubs and wide expanses of lawn. Don t miss our secret garden formerly the Bedford College botany garden which is tucked away behind mature hedges and features a sheltered network of paths, a pond and many plant specimens. 1 2 Main entrance On the lawn at the front of the University is a black locust tree (Robinia pseudoacacia). A native of Eastern America, the tree has a symbiotic relationship with a bacterium (rhizobia) on its root nodules, which absorbs nitrogen from the atmosphere for use by the plant. In the adjacent border there is a Chilean lantern tree (Crinodendron hookerianum) which is endemic to Chile. This attractive shrub has small lantern-like, dark pink flowers throughout most of the summer. It is very hardy and can thrive in the far north of Scotland. 3 Quadrangle This garden area is set out with formal box (Buxus sempervirens) hedges and topiary. The outer edges are planted with yellow Rosa Graham Thomas. The sculpture at the centre of the quad (pictured above) was installed in November 2000 and represents the global reach of the University.
7 10 11 Tuke Hall in the autumn Main garden 8 Quercus robur Fastigiata, in memory of student Jourdan Deal 9 Prunus serrulata Kanzan, in memory of staff member Simon Hamm 10 Cornus kousa China Girl in memory of staff member Andrew Ropek 11 Prunus serrulata Kiku-Shidare-Zakura in memory of Sigurdh Frida Zorzi The car park between Acland and the Tate Library was once the site of a Sundial Garden. The road here, leading from the South Lodge, was originally the driveway that led round to the South Villa. The trees along the bank are unfortunately infected with Plane anthracnose, which makes their leaves shrivel and drop throughout the summer. There is no cure for this. Folly The small stone building in this area was once used as a boat store by the ladies of Bedford College. In our rocky sub-tropical bed there is an anchor plant (Colletia paradoxa). This is a hardy cactus from South America and is a highly unusual plant, normally seen only in botanical gardens. It flowers in autumn with sweetly scented lilac flowers. Reid Hall in the Winter The black mulberry (Morus nigra) is a native of southeast Asia and produces delicious edible fruit in the summer which can be used in jams or sorbets. A great many were imported to Britain in the 17th century to encourage the growth of the silk industry. However, the attempt failed, as silkworms turned out to prefer the white mulberry (Morus alba)! The Wollemi pine (Wollemia nobilis), planted in 2008, was thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered in Australia in It is a prehistoric tree, dating back more than 90 million years. It is part of the Araucariaceae family - one of its relatives, the monkey puzzle tree (Araucaria araucana) is close by. 7 The Japanese persimmon (Diospyros kaki), planted in 2009, is a native of China (despite its common name!) Its trade name is Sharon Fruit and its fruits are edible when fully ripe, but bitter otherwise due to its tannin content.
8 12 13 The University holds many events and student gatherings in the gardens throughout the year On the corner leading towards the Botany building is a large Turkey oak (Quercus cerris), which is native to southeastern Europe and Asia Minor and was introduced to Britain in the 18th century. On this tree we are training a climbing hydrangea (Hydrangea anomala subsp. petiolaris). The Himalayan birch (Betula utilis) is a native of the Himalayas. With white, paper-like bark and striking yellow autumn colour, it makes an attractive garden feature. 14 The copper beech (Fagus sylvatica Atropunicea ) is a native mutant tree from Europe, first discovered in Germany in 1488, and coppiced for firewood and charcoal production. These trees have rings to protect them from compaction and are thriving as a result Whitebeam (Sorbus aria) is a British native tree. It was named whitebeam by the Anglo-Saxons, baum being the German word for tree. It is a good tree for growing in cities as it is resistant to shade and pollution. Prunus avium, in memory of Miss Irene J Shepard, Secretary Betula albosinensis, in memory of student Martine Vik Magnussen By the back gate there is a large horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), which is native to Greece and Albania. Its foliage turns brown in mid-summer due to infection by horse-chestnut leaf miner (Cameraria ohridella). This particular tree is layering itself, rooting its branches back into the ground The secret garden This area was originally the Bedford College Botany Garden, which was used for studying the classification of plants, diseases and plant breeding. Entering the garden, on your right is a dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides). A native of China, this is the least tall of the redwoods. Unlike other redwoods, in autumn its leaves turn yellow and fall. By the pond there is a foxglove tree (Paulownia tomentosa), native to central and western China. It is an unusual-looking tree with large leaves and tubular purple flowers like a foxglove, produced before the leaves in early spring.
9 Liquidambar styraciflua, in memory of students Beth Ann Johnson and Elyse Seraceni The Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica Glauca ) is native to the Atlas Mountains of Algeria and Morocco. This tree is tolerant of drought and warm conditions, unlike most conifers, and is used for forestry and timber production in southern France. The corkscrew hazel (Corylus avellana Contorta ) along the perimeter is a British native. This variety was a natural sport (a genetic variation) found growing in a hedgerow in England in the mid-1800s. The variation is grafted onto a rootstock which sends up suckers that need to be pruned out. Acer japonicum Vitifolium, in memory of staff member Richard Gregson The Japanese banana (Musa basjoo) (27) was thought to have originated from the Ryukyu Islands of Japan, but is now known to be from southern China. It is an ornamental banana and not grown for fruit. It takes 12 to 24 months of constant warmth in order to bloom The tree fern (Dicksonia antarctica) is native to Australia, where it is mainly found in south-east Queensland, coastal New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. Large tree ferns come from harvested old growth which may be hundreds of years old. The pith of this plant is edible. The variegated Norway maple (Acer platanoides Variegatum ) has dense foliage which becomes bright yellow, tinged with pink in autumn. It is tolerant of shade. The most notable plants on the site include our collection of London planes (Platanus x hispanica). This species, which is a hybrid of Platanus orientalis and Platanus occidentalis is especially adapted to city drought and pollution because of its thick, waxy leaves and habit of self-cleaning by shedding its bark. The Regent s Plane has been designated one of the Great Trees of London (pictured left, to the far right of the image). The left-hand third of the Tuke building is where the South Villa, designed by Regency architect John Nash, once stood. It was pulled down in Covering the brickwork is Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) a native of central and eastern North America. It is a very attractive climber, turning a deep burgundy colour in the autumn, making it a real feature of the University. In early summer, the walls are covered with the lilac flowers and fragrance of wisteria Behind Reid Hall, there are beehives and a small productive garden where we grow vegetables and herbs, some of which are used in the University kitchens.

11 We are immensely proud of our beautiful gardens at Regent's. Not only do they provide an excellent setting in which to study, but they also reflect our commitment to biodiversity and sustainability. We want to ensure that as many people as possible are able to enjoy them and learn more about our institution's fascinating history. Professor Aldwyn Cooper Vice Chancellor and Chief Executive
