King Charles is reportedly recovering at Highgrove House – a master gardener says his sensory grounds are designed for healing

King Charles.

King Charles reportedly spent the last weekend at his official family home, Highgrove House, in Gloucestershire, South West England. It comes after news that he had visited the hospital with side effects from his cancer treatment. The monarch was seen driving through Highgrove House gates after clearing his diary to prioritize his recovery, which reports say is a precaution following the temporary side effects. A look at Highgrove's gardens, however, shows exactly why it's the ideal place for him to recover.

When King Charles first moved into the home, the gardens were famously overgrown and unkept. Following consultations with celebrated gardeners Rosemary Verey and naturalist Miriam Rothschild, the monarch transformed the grounds into a healing sanctuary.
