A Rose Garden for Sir George Martin

A stunning new rose garden honoring Sir George Martin and Lady Judy Martin has opened at Strawberry Field, featuring a wall of their 30 UK number one hits and fragrant blooms chosen for all senses. Designed as a serene retreat by Lady Judy’s personal touch, the 95-square-meter garden includes water features, seating, and gates painted by artist James Wilkinson — with many roses gifted by Lady Judy before her passing in 2023. The garden’s official launch drew family and music legends, including Giles Martin, Lucie Kitchener, Julia Baird, and Mike McCartney, all gathered thanks to a generous donation from Cliff Cooper of Orange Amps. Alongside the garden, a new photo exhibit reveals the Martins’ deep rose passion and Strawberry Field’s legacy. All proceeds support the Salvation Army’s “Steps to Work” program helping young adults find jobs — and the garden is open daily for everyone to enjoy.
