Judi Dench’s Surrey garden: a living arboretum of memories

Dame Judi Dench’s six‑acre Surrey garden is a living memorial built around about 100 trees, each representing a lost loved one. She highlights eight meaningful features—like a Queen Victoria statue, a white garden, a wildlife pond, a swimming pool, memorial woodland, and the scent of wild garlic—navigating the space through memory and scent while revealing a worm phobia that keeps her out of the dirt.
