A garden of remembrance
After the loss of their friend, the late production designer Michael Howells, Royal Marsden Cancer Charity Trustee and designer Anya Hindmarch CBE, and fashion writer Camilla Morton, wanted to find an inspiring way to remember those we have lost. Together, they created the Ever After Garden which first lit up Grosvenor Square in 2019.

“The Ever After Garden was born out of the need to pay tribute to those we have lost during the year. It was an idea originally conceived with Camilla Morton in memory of Michael Howells and is named after the film for which he designed the sets. However this garden should be personal to everyone. For me, it is also in memory of my Aunt Elizabeth Hindmarch."
"My wish is for this to be a place to reflect at Christmas in amongst all the festive cheer, and in doing so raise money for the incredible institution that is The Royal Marsden."

Creating the Ever After Garden
The garden has become a reality with the generous support and management of our Founding Partner Grosvenor. We are also grateful for the generosity of our Event Partner Rosewood London and all of our Garden Supporters.
With special thanks to the Korean creative group PANCOMMUNICATION and their 'Light Rose Garden'. The Ever After Garden has been inspired by the Light Rose Garden, an exhibition first launched in 2014 by the Korean creative group PANCOMMUNICATION at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) in Seoul, Korea.
The Light Rose Garden soon became the iconic attraction of the city and within the period of a month drew more than 6 million visitors. The Light Rose Garden started its world tour in Hong Kong in February 2016 to brighten the world with the warm and positive glow of light roses. This installation has been developed in conjunction and with the kind support of PANCOMMUNICATION group.
