Last weekend when we were in Kew Gardens there was a special art installation, honouring the oak tree.
This spring and summer, visitors to Kew Gardens can experience Of the Oak, a one-of-a-kind immersive art installation that celebrates the oak tree as a vital hub of biodiversity. (This is from the website)

Saturday Sculptures from Kew Gardens
…the Queen’s Beasts
At Kew Gardens there are a series of 10 sculptures that were created by James Woodford, OBE, RA in 1958.
According to the Kew Gardens website:
Each of these ten statues represent the heraldic badges of Queen Elizabeth II’s royal ancestors. They are Portland stone replicas of the plaster models that were placed outside the Westminster Abbey annex for the Queen’s coronation in 1953. — Read on www.kew.org/kew-gardens/visit-kew-gardens/trails/art-architecture-trail
