Flanders Fields Memorial Garden, War memorial garden in City of Westminster, United Kingdom.

The Flanders Fields Memorial Garden features a circular grass bed containing soil from World War I battlefields and a stone bench made of Flemish bluestone.

Queen Elizabeth II and King Philippe of Belgium inaugurated this memorial garden on November 6, 2014, commemorating the British soldiers who defended Belgium in World War I.

The garden wall displays excerpts from John McCrae's poem 'In Flanders Fields' and serves as a symbol of connection between British and Belgian nations.

The memorial garden sits adjacent to the Guards Chapel at Wellington Barracks, offering visitors a central location to observe military remembrance ceremonies throughout the year.

Soil from 70 different military cemeteries and battlefields in Flanders was collected by schoolchildren and transported by Belgian Navy frigate for incorporation into the garden.
