WE ARE DELIGHTED to offer readers the chance to enjoy a guided two-hour tour of the Royal Garden at Highgrove – followed by Highgrove Champagne on the terrace and a delicious seasonal two-course lunch, or an English afternoon tea with a glass of Champagne, all freshly prepared by the talented Orchard Restaurant chefs. In addition, all guests will receive a Highgrove gift and guidebook.

Your tour will be escorted by one of HRH The Prince of Wales’s expert guides. Over 37 years in the making, the garden unfolds in a series of highly personal and inspiring tableaux, each one reflecting the Prince’s interests, and has kindly been opened by TRH The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall for others to enjoy.

Your visit also includes a talk and demonstration by Caroline Tatham and Kate Durr, award-winning garden designers from the Cotswold Gardening School. Caroline and Kate will explain the art of creating a successful planting scheme, including the use of colour, shape and texture. Taking inspiration from the garden you will have just experienced, you will gain an understanding of how to re-create some of the stunning planting schemes at home.

Exclusive plant collections will be available to buy in the Highgrove Estate shop and Caroline and Kate will be on hand to answer any design and planting questions and help you select the right plants for your space.
