In the garden named after him, in Huntington Library and Gardens.
Located between the Huntington Art Gallery and the Virginia Steele Scott Gallery, the Shakespeare Garden includes many plants and flowers mentioned in Shakespeare’s plays including poppies, pansies, violets, pinks, carnations, rosemary, daffodils, irises, roses, columbines, and marigolds, in tribute to the Library collection of early editions of Shakespeare. A small plaque next to each of the plants quotes the relevant line or verse: “It was the nightingale, and not the lark, That pierc'd the fearful hollow of thine ear; Nightly she sings on yond pomegranate-tree...” (Romeo and Juliet, Act III, Scene V); “There's rosemary, that's for remembrance....” (Hamlet, Act IV Scene V), etc. Some of the less obvious Shakespearean plants in the garden include wild thyme, garlic, woodbine, grape, crab-apple, myrtle, sweet violet, lemon balm, fern, and holly.
