The Royal Pavilion Garden, in the Pavilion's grounds, has a wide variety of plants, having been restored to Nash's original Regency vision. It is said to be the only fully restored Regency garden in the UK. The garden is maintained using only organic methods by the Trust's garden team led by a Head gardener and including volunteers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://brightonmuseums.org.uk/royalpavilion/whattosee/garden-and-estate/ten-things-you-might-not-know-about-the-pavilion-garden/ |title=Ten things you might not know about the Pavilion Garden |work=Brightonmuseums.org.uk }}</ref>
