1. National Blackberry Collection

Before Buckingham Palace as we know it existed, there was a huge blackberry garden. The owner of the plantation had a dream of becoming a silk master, but it was not fulfilled. Over the years, the cultivated fields also produced other fruit and flowers. Elizabeth II, already queen, wanted to salvage a bit of that history and asked for the 29 species of blackberry to be planted which are currently preserved and made into a national collection.
