King Charles starts work on new climate change-themed garden

King Charles has started work on a new climate change-themed garden.

The 74-year-old monarch’s immaculate Royal Sandringham estate in Norfolk has diggers working on an acre of land that will become a public topiary garden.

As work is beginning to turn a portion of the land into a new garden, a once-pristine lawn on the west side of Sandringham House has vanished. The completed Topiary Garden will bring new plant species that are more resilient against severe weather brought on by climate change to the region.

A statement published last month by the estate about the upcoming garden – which was previously used to grow crops for the World War Two ‘Dig for Victory campaign, when people were encouraged to grow their own fruit and vegetables amid rationing – said: “This area of the garden will now have a decorative aspect and bring increased naturalistic planting to the area to improve biodiversity.

“In recent years, with changing weather patterns the current expanse of lawn has been affected by warm weather and excessive rainfall,” the statement said. “The newly developed garden will introduce new species that are more robust, hardy and better able to withstand the impact of emerging weather patterns,”.

A series of gravel paths will allow visitors to enjoy the garden, which is set to contain 5,139 yew tree hedging plants, more than 4,280 herbaceous perennial plants and bulbs and yellow and pink rose varieties including ‘Gabriel Oak’, ‘Skylark’ and ‘Charles Darwin’.

Work first started on the garden on January 23, with award-winning landscape designers Landform contracted to transform the area in the 20,000 estates, which Charles took over from his late father Prince Philip in 2017. It is expected landscaping on the new eco-focused garden will be open to visitors by the end of May.
