Excursion: Saturday 3rd August 2024 Highgrove Lunch and Garden Tour - £10 DEPOSIT £85 to pay
Join us for a very special visit to the home of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Your 1½-hour tour will be led by one of Highgrove's experienced guides. In addition to revealing the gardens’ history, organic management and sources of inspiration, they will explain the hidden curios and horticultural innovations behind them. Highgrove is a place of peace and tranquillity, where The King's passion and imagination have been etched onto the Cotswold landscape. From the magnificent Wildflower Meadow to the enchanting setting of the Arboretum, the gardens embody His Majesty's gardening ideals and organic principles.
