A Himalayan garden will be on show at The Sandringham Flower show this month in support of Wiltshire charity The Gurkha Welfare Trust. Designer, Jane Scott Moncrieff, London, is designing and building the garden to raise money for the Salisbury based trust and raise awareness of the vital work it does helping Gurkha veterans when recruited into the British Army, and their families and communities. The show usually attracts more than 20,000 people each year including Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, now being 137th year more than 200 stalls and flower displays will be celebrated 25 July, Queen’s Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.

The planting of the garden is chosen to reflect flora found in the Himalayas with most the plant species chosen from indigenous to the surrounding areas. The back of the garden will be displayed at the show with a small structure to represent a Himalayan tea house which has been built with reclaimed timber and iron originally used in Nepal, finished with authentic Buddhist prayer flags. The designer said: “I am proud to support such a worthy charity and hope our small Himalayan garden at Sandringham will transport visitors to another world, a place they may not have seen for themselves.”.
