A garden based on the hit Netflix show Bridgerton, which is currently at the Chelsea Flower show, is moving to Cambridge.

The 'secretive and secluded' spaced is based on character Penelope Featherington, described as 'wallflower-like'.

It is said to reflect Penelope’s personal journey, initially focused on a moongate arch which leads to an ornate water feature and sunken seating area in the heart of the garden.

The garden will be relocated to Cambridge University Hospitals after the show, for patients and staff to enjoy.

Designed by first-time designer Holly Johnston, the garden celebrates season 3 of the global hit programme.

A spokesperson for Cambridge University Hospitals said: “We are delighted that the wonderful Bridgerton Garden will be moving to Cambridge, and we are very grateful to Netflix and Shondaland for making this possible.

"The garden will be located in a courtyard within the hospital grounds and we are looking forward to it delighting patients, staff and visitors when they visit Addenbrooke’s and The Rosie Hospitals.

"Supporting this garden project is part of our commitment to the importance of wellbeing and therapeutic environments.”

Netflix will work with landscape contractors Stewart Landscapes (who built the garden at the show), designer Holly and Cambridge University Hospitals to recreate the garden at a central outdoor area.

Holly Johnston, designer of the garden said: “I’m thrilled that the garden will live on at CUH and be used by staff, patients, visitors and the public. WT Partnership have been key in bringing the garden to Cambridge through their CSR programme, and will continue to project manage the relocation.”
