A Glimpse Through the Gate into the King’s Garden - with ideas that translate into many gardens 

God bless you LAnn .Gardens are passion and our King is that in heaps

Oh no they don’t give two hoots about being on camera they are just hoping I have an apple or two in my pocket! Dexter cows are led by their stomachs 😆🐇

@@bunnyguinnessit was so cute and a good chuckle

I agree, also he and Diana were never going to be a good match, both were such different characters in my opinion.

None of us will really know the truth about their relationship . Anyone who’s ever known two friends who’ve separated will have had the experience of hearing wildly conflicting views . We can by contrast see the objective evidence of his views on the environment .

Agree. Charles care about the environment decades before it became a trend. He and Diana were a mismatch, probably will eventually lead separate lives regardless of Camilla.

Another person who fell for the bias of the media.

Glad he's kind to plants. Pity he was so careless with the lives of his wife Diana and his sons.

You could put in an acoustic fence, they are pretty effective but expensive! 🐇

@@bunnyguinness I've talked to a couple of fencing companies. I already have a 4' picket fence that used to have lattice on top (making it 6' at one time). The plan is to push up the 4' pickets to the 6' level and butt them up to each other so no spaces. Then the bottom will be filled in with one horizontal board then vertical boards to fill in (most lumber is NOT identical in width - it can be up to a 1/4" different, so the horizontal board will hide the differences in boards hopefully). Once that is complete, I'm going to use caulk at each seam. I've planted various evergreen shrubs along that fence already and they're starting to get some height and width on them. Now I'll add birdhouses. 😁 As I sit here typing this, it is just shy of 7am (US EDT), I have my doors open to let in some cool air and I'm listening to the birds as much as I can over the road noise. Just have to focus, lol.

He was warning about climate change long before anyone else.He received relentless mockery from many parts of the media.He is a wise,deep thinking man.

Wow did you make it? My husband is envious of this, he looks after our bees! What timber is it made from please?🐇

@@bunnyguinness Someone deleted my response. I didn't make it. It was a company here in Slovenia that made it in 1998 and was gifted to then Prince Charles by our president on behalf of slovenian people (that is why i wrote our). In 1994 he was also gifted from us (Slovenians) a typical hayrack (Slovene: kozolec) that stood at Highgrove (i don't know if it is still there). Usually beehouses are made of spruce, which are very common in our woods.

Slovenia is a paradise for wild flowers . A must to visit.

Hello from San Antonio, TX just found out about High Grove and it's strawberry jam and honey and other products, and all the profits donated to charity. But I love the gardens.

Lucky you!

That sounds beautiful.

I was amazed at how it made a narrow corridor look far wider! You never can quite judge how things work even with computer design aids until you see the finished product. 🐇❤️

How funny I thought it was a bit brash!🐇

The videos are informative and entertaining. I look forward to them.

Have never managed to visit Heligan Gardens, would be fascinated to one day. 🐇

Hi we use about four different types, some bound gravel - Breedon gravel, a different type of bound gravel from Smiths in Oxfordshire and various sized loose gravels. Have a look at my two gravel videos one on bound gravel and one on loose gravel, it goes into the ones I have and shows how to choose and lay them 🐇

I had some in my first garden, really just to try them and get to know them. But I have not planted any in my garden here as to be honest, I find them a bit boring. I prefer hydrangeas or some Viburnums such as V plicatum Summer Snowflake (mine are flowering now in early May and they flower again in late summer. They have bags more appeal to me. But every gardener has different favourites just go for what you like!🐇

It’s Cammassia quamash, a bulb, plant it in autumn. It’s not expensive and prefers damper soils though at Highgrove it does pretty well as you can see and that’s a free draining soil. In my garden I have it in the meadow and in borders, but because we are in a much drier part of the country and have free draining soil it does not increase in numbers so I will replant every few years to keep the population going. 🐇

You mean in sub tropical climate conditions or just to give the look?🐇

@@bunnyguinness I mean in sub tropical climate conditions. I am in the subtropics in Australia. I have inherited a 35 year old food forest style type garden on an 815sq m piece of land with a low set 4 bedroom brick house.

Sounds like 'Digestate' which is a by product of producing gas for energy.

Its called Digestive here, they put green items often maize plants in big heaps and then it rots down giving off gas which is used for power and the stuff Im standing on is called digestive which is the waste product. I would have thought they did this in the States too? I (and many farmers) get it free but have to organise transport.🐰

Sorry typo it’s ‘digestate’ - not digestive predictive text!🐇

Hi, best via email please bunny.guinness@sibberton.com🐇

@@bunnyguinness Hi Bunny, thanks for sharing this. I've always enjoyed programs on the Queens Canopy, The King's efforts in Highgrove, in restoring properties and Poundberry. What would be fantastic if it's possible is to expand the late Queen's Canopy Project to Australia. As the King is fond of Mediterranean Gardens as well which would suit our climate, perhaps even Morcoccan styles as we have desertification, could you look into a program sponsored by The King that comes to Australia, perhaps you and Monty Don and teach Australians how to retrofit out gardens for the heat to come? We do try, but the Brits do courtyards really well as do Middle-East regions. I found Monty's programs in Iran, Turkey, Greece, Italy, France, So as in beguiling but need help to transpose that in my neighbourhood. But if that gets our concrete jungles much cooler, I think the King or Prince of Wales might open such programs on future tours to Australia in coming years. It would be a nice project.

She had no interest in garden!

She wasn't a gardener. His sons passed on his environmental interests to his sons.

I wonder what trusts can be or are set up for just that across the UK?

@@constancewhite6906 Now is the time to examine and set up the legal frameworks. He will be well regarded and remembered for making bold, radical changes for the future of the country.

Lol

Seriously ? Just do your part instead of everyone else's part, lol

Sorry about these mad hippies Bunny.
