From the Wikipedia article
The Laskett Gardens, near Much Birch, Herefordshire, England, were created by Sir Roy Strong and his wife, Julia, Lady Strong. The couple purchased and moved to the rural property in 1973 and, over the next thirty years, built the garden from scratch. In 2015 Strong announced that he would bequeath the property to the Gardeners' Royal Benevolent Society (Perennial). Perennial accepted the gift in 2021.
