The garden was named Le Jardin du Roi or The King's Garden, based on the garden seen on French and English maps of the 18th century Fort. In 1920, Coffin's planting plan was followed, but as the 20th century progressed the plan was modified. By 1993 the garden plan was indecipherable due to neglect, soon after, Fort Ticonderoga began an active plan to restore the garden to the 1920 plan. Today, the garden once again blooms according to the Coffin plan. Besides heirloom flowers, the garden is filled with ornamental sculpture and seating.
Visitors can take a self-guided tour, aided by staff interpreters.
The King's Garden is also the site of school programs. The King's Garden makes its official debut on August 25, 2001. Contact Fort Ticonderoga to rent the King's Garden for private functions.
