Flowers placed in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II will be composted

After advising world leaders to avoid private jets, British royalty want to recycle bouquets left in tribute to the late Queen. The mountain of flowers placed in London parks in tribute to Elizabeth II will be composted and reused to plant new beds, the authority that oversees London’s royal parks said on Tuesday.

Many bouquets or wreaths of flowers were placed in London parks following the death of the monarch on September 8, after 70 years of reign. These flowery tributes will begin to be picked up on Monday, a week after the sovereign’s state funeral. New bouquets can always be placed, but old or damaged flowers will be removed.

“Set aside stuffed animals and other objects”

The compost produced will be used for landscaping projects and planting new beds in the parks. “Our priority at the moment is to manage the huge amount of flowers and tributes laid in the Green Park flower garden,” detailed a spokesperson for Royal Parks, which also has other famous green spaces such as Hyde. Park or Kensington Gardens.

“We will put aside stuffed animals and other deposited objects,” he added, specifying “to work closely with our partners to decide what we will do with them over the next few months, with discretion and sensitivity. »
