George Harrison purchased Friar Park in 1970 and began restoring its neglected Victorian gardens. He cleared overgrown vegetation and repaired damaged features, making gardening a family activity. After Harrison’s death, Olivia Harrison continued preserving the estate’s unique character and elaborate topiary. Today, Friar Park’s gardens showcase over 160 restored topiary specimens.
