King Charles III has overhauled the garden at his Norfolk home and it's now open for visitors
Brand new aerial photographs of the impressive garden reveal how pristine it looks, and it will only continue to get more beautiful as the gardeners add to the beds next year. The beds will be filled with herbaceous perennial plants and bulbs including Veronica, Delphinium, Phlox, Echinacea and Lavender.The purpose of the changes, which saw the existing lawn being dug up, was to improve the biodiversity of the space and create a rich source for pollinators.
When Charles first announced the plans, a statement on his behalf read: "In recent years, with changing weather patterns the current expanse of lawn has been affected by warm weather and excessive rainfall."The newly developed garden will introduce new species that are more robust, hardy and better able to withstand the impact of emerging weather patterns."
The Sandringham gardens are open to members of the public until 12 October and tickets cost £13 for adults and under 17s go free. Annual memberships are also available for £52, giving unlimited access during open season.The monarch's garden at his Highgrove estate has already been perfected over the years, and it is a space he understandably takes great pride in.The Highgrove Garden Instagram has shared a series of photographs of the idyllic grounds, and they look so stunning.
The property is also sentimental for His Majesty as Tigga, his Jack Russell, was buried in the grounds when he passed away. Charles also commissioned Emma Stothard to create a willow sculpture of Tigga that stands proudly in the gardens for visitors to admire.
