Lime trees along Holland Park Avenue were planted around 1960, and a Liriodendrum tulipfera, a Golden Ash and a third Plane tree were added in the early 1970s.
In the early 1990s the Garden Committee embarked on a Railings Restoration Project, followed by a Garden Restoration Project.
These major restoration projects were the beginning of a long-term strategy to enhance the garden’s aesthetic and practical appeal. Besides being a beautiful visual amenity, the garden serves an important role as a community space for the 149 households in 44 houses along the Crescent, given the majority of residents live in flats without a garden of their own.
By 1997 the Garden Committee managed to raise funds to finally restore its cast iron railings, from careful saving of the garden precept, resident donations, and generous matching grants from the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea (RBK&C) and English Heritage.
The architect Susan Walker produced an award-winning and elegant design for the railings based on postcards depicting the originals. The railings were produced by Metalcraft of Tottenham, which has continued to work on their maintenance.
The new railings were celebrated with a large party for residents with special guests Michael French (then head of the RBK&C Planning Department), architect Susan Walker as well as Alan Clark, who was MP for Kensington at the time and gave a speech congratulating the committee and residents on this achievement.
