Heatherwick说：“在过去20年里，南岸的复兴创造了一个充满活力和艺术性的地区，吸引了大批游客参观其艺术画廊、剧院、音乐厅、餐馆和户外娱乐场所。”“然而，参观庙宇和萨默塞特大厦以东的北岸地区和滑铁卢大桥的次数要少得多。大桥将发展壮大，滋养这些不同地区之间的联系，同时提供新的步行路线往返科文特花园和SOHO。“

“The revival of the South Bank over the past two decades has created a vibrant and artistic district attracting large number of visitors to its art galleries, theatres, music halls, restaurants and outdoor entertainment,” stated Heatherwick. “However, visits to Temple and the north bank area east of Somerset House and Waterloo Bridge are far less frequent. The bridge will grow and nourish the connection between these distinct areas whilst providing new walking routes to and from Covent Garden and Soho.”

花园桥最初是由演员和活动家乔安娜·卢姆利(JoannaLumley)启发的，她多年来一直是这一想法的支持者。

The Garden Bridge was originally inspired by actor and campaigner Joanna Lumley, who has been a proponent of such an idea for several years.

“谈论一些还不存在的东西是很奇怪的，但是花园桥在计划和想象中已经很生动了，”Lumley评论道。“这座花园在各个方面都是耸人听闻的：一个没有噪音和交通的地方，那里唯一的声音是鸟鸣和蜜蜂嗡嗡作响，树中的风在不断地奔流。”

“It's quite strange to talk of something that doesn't exist yet, but the Garden Bridge is already vivid in the plans and the imagination,” Lumley commented. “This garden will be sensational in every way: a place with no noise or traffic where the only sounds will be birdsong and bees buzzing and the wind in the trees, and below the steady rush of water.

“这将是最慢的过河方式，因为人们会懒洋洋地躺在栏杆上，盯着周围的大城市风景；但对于疲惫的通勤者来说，这也是一条安全而快捷的穿越泰晤士河的道路。”

“It will be the slowest way to cross the river, as people will dawdle and lean on parapets and stare at the great cityscapes all around; but it will also be a safe and swift way for the weary commuter to make his way back over the Thames. 

这里将有草、树、野花和植物，这是伦敦自然的河边栖息地所特有的。春天会开花，冬天甚至会有圣诞树.我相信它会给伦敦人和游客带来和平、美丽和魔力。“

There will be grasses, trees, wild flowers, and plants, unique to London's natural riverside habitat. And there will be blossom in the spring and even a Christmas tree in mid-winter.  I believe it will bring to Londoners and visitors alike peace and beauty and magic."

Heatherwick预计将在2014年初提交1.5亿GB项目的规划申请。计划于2015年开始施工。

Heatherwick is expect to submit the planning application for the £150 million project in early 2014. Construction is planned to begin in 2015.
