King Charles is already making his mark at Sandringham, with work under way to create a stunning climate-friendly garden at the estate.
Plans were revealed in January to transform an area inside the formal gardens, with the lawn on the west side of the house to be turned into a topiary garden.
It was the site of a formal ‘Parterre’ garden in the 1800s and subsequently used for crops as part of the ‘Dig for Victory’ campaign in the Second World War.

This area will now have a decorative aspect and bring increased naturalistic planting to the area to improve biodiversity.
Working to a plan by award-winning landscape designers Landform, an acre of land is being cleared, redeveloped and replanted, with work set to finish by mid-May 2023.
This will include the introduction of new plants and flowers, a maze of new paths and the regrading and straightening of sloping banks.
Images released by the Sandringham Estate and taken by head gardener Jack Lindfield and photographer Gary Pearson show the work in full swing.
