Garden Like The Royals Do



 If you still aren't convinced that a garden can be as highly designed as the interior of a home, take a look at how the royals do it. The Prince Charles Garden can be seen as motivation for the look you want to achieve in your own outdoor living space.



But the real highlight of the grounds is the refurbished tree-house that was originally built for Princes William and Harry in 1988. Recently redesigned, it is now supported by ten Welsh slate standing stones and can be accessed by a holly leaf-shaped door. According to People, a younger William told the treehouse designer, Willie Bertram, that he wanted "it to be as high as possible, so I can get away from everyone. And I want a rope ladder, which I can pull up so no one can get at me."
