Highgrove Open for Tours

 


In May 2018, I had the pleasure of spending a day on a garden tour at Highgrove.   It was pricey but worth it.

"Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla call Highgrove their private residence. While the house remains off-limits to the public, they open the gates to the enchanting gardens between April and October each year. This allows visitors to experience the beauty and inspiration that Their Majesties hold so dear.

Over the past 40 years, a series of interlinked gardens have blossomed at Highgrove, each reflecting The King's artistic touch and nurtured with imagination and passion. Managed organically and with sustainability in mind, these havens have become vital habitats for diverse wildlife.

In 2021, stewardship of Highgrove Gardens passed to The King's Foundation. The Foundation, established in 2018 through a merger of several of His Majesty's previous charitable endeavours, also oversees other properties like Dumfries House, The Castle and Gardens of Mey, and The Garrison Chapel."


According to the Highgrove website, "Garden Tours take place on selected dates between April and September, while Spring Walks take place on selected dates in March and April, and Autumn Walks on selected dates in September and October.

Join one of our experienced guides on a tour to discover the history, inspiration, and unique organic management behind this incredible series of gardens.

During your visit, you will be able to visit the Highgrove Shop at The Coronation Pavilion, where you’ll find a selection of bespoke Highgrove products, from beautiful home and garden ware to country attire and artwork by His Majesty The King. The Orchard Room Restaurant will also be open to visitors after their garden tour and will be offering refreshments, both savoury and sweet, including hot and cold drinks."
