A British Garden Grows

The first plantings at the British Memorial Garden at Hanover Square, honoring the 67 British citizens who died on September 11, 2001, will take place in the spring, with an opening set for later in the year. “This will be a significant addition to the greening of Lower Manhattan,” the city’s commissioner of parks and recreation, Adrian Benepe, said at the British Memorial Garden Trust’s annual gala Thursday, singling out the efforts of the trust’s president, Camilla Hellman. The chairman of British Airways, Martin Broughton, and the chairman and chief executive of Lehman Brothers, Richard Fuld Jr., were honored.
