Ten years on from London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park's 560 acres are home to 10 new habitat types including wildflower meadows, woodlands and wetlands as well as the West Ham pitch at the London Stadium!
In this episode of My London Legacy, we hear how the Park was created to become a world class sporting location and a haven for rare species. And as we celebrate the flora and fauna, the London Stadium, at the heart of the largest urban park to be created for 150 years, provides the perfect backdrop for a special recording of the iconic BBC programme 'Gardeners' Question Time' - marking the Radio 4 institution's 75th birthday and the 10th anniversary of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
