The Topiary Garden at Royal Sandringham estate
A new eco-friendly Topiary Garden on the Royal Sandringham estate in Norfolk is now almost complete with all the symmetrical beds laid out and Yew trees planted.
Construction started on the garden four months ago and the once immaculate lawn on the west side of Sandringham House has since undergone a complete transformation.
The King is said to have kept a close eye on the progress of the garden.
He is creating a biodiverse formal garden with nearly 10,000 plants after requesting it when he inherited the estate at the death of the late Queen last year.
It is due to open to paying visitors to Sandringham House and its grounds later this month.
