The RHS Royal Legacy Garden, designed by Catherine MacDonald in collaboration with King Charles, will appear at the RHS’s inaugural flower show at Sandringham, taking place from July 22 to July 26.

Catherine MacDonald, garden designer, said: "I am excited about bringing the RHS Royal Legacy Garden to the RHS’s inaugural flower show at Sandringham.

"I hope the garden will inspire visitors to take a closer look at the incredible patterns found in nature all around us – from the repeating branch formations of oak trees to the spiralling leaf patterns of ferns."

The garden mixes British native trees such as yew and hornbeam with tougher, heat‑tolerant species like pride of India and the strawberry tree to boost wildlife and cope with warmer weather.

For perennial planting, salvias and nepeta have been selected for their bright colours, with a colour palette of purple, yellow and a dash of striking bright red.

The King's passion for trees has also influenced the plant selection.

"We want to encourage people to make choices in their own gardens that work with nature, recognising the role we all play in supporting wildlife and promoting tree and plant diversity for now and the future," Ms Macdonald added.

The Royal Legacy Garden will be featured alongside a selection of show gardens, long borders, student-led designs, and horticultural displays at the inaugural event.

Jenny Laville, show manager for RHS Sandringham, said: "The positive impact nature has on our wellbeing has long been known, so we're delighted to be celebrating this at RHS Sandringham.

"We have some amazing gardening talent bringing designs and displays in July, and we can't wait to see them come to life so visitors can experience the joys of nature."
