A Visit to Highgrove Gardens
After supplying some of The Royal Parks in London for their mulching needs, we were truly honoured when the Gardens at Highgrove also acquired some. It sounds sappy but it's made our mum really proud, she's been telling her friends that the King's gardeners use the mulch, so we're letting our customers know too.
We booked a trip to Highgrove to celebrate. They have a strict no photography rule, which is a relief and encourages you to simply immerse yourself within the experience without pressure to document. It was incredibly inspiring, our tour guide was brilliant. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or simply delighted by beautifully imagined spaces, we highly recommend a visit to enjoy and admire the sheer splendour and uniqueness of this Royal, yet very personal garden.

Also, here is the trailer for the King's recent documentary "Finding Harmony: A King's vision" which features an insight into the way he approaches his gardens in Gloucestershire and Dumfries House in Scotland.
Got to love a Royal gift shop! Couldn't help but get a small trowel which will come in handy for transplanting seedlings into the mulch, a packet of wildflower meadow mix and some eggs from "Cluckingham Palace"
