King embroiled in row over Highgrove gardens
The King is embroiled in a row at Highgrove amid claims gardeners complained about the monarch's demands and low pay. Gardeners at the King's Gloucestershire residence have reportedly quit while managers were told to offer mental health support and counselling to staff following an investigation into a complaint by one of the workers. The Sunday Times reported that two staff walked out earlier this year and that most of the full time gardeners who worked at Highgrove in 2022 have now left. The King has spent 45 years transforming the gardens at Highgrove, near Tetbury, and last weekend hosted a 'Harmony Summit' at the house to celebrate the connection between nature and humanity. He still regularly spends time at the nine-bedroom private residence where he tends to the exotic flowers and plants in the gardens, which are known as some of the most spectacular in the country. Before his accession to the throne in 2022, Charles transferred the land surrounding his personal residence to the Prince's Foundation, which became the King's Foundation. This preserved his influence over the property when he became King as it was due to be inherited by Prince William. According to an investigation by The Sunday Times, since March 2022, 11 of 12 full-time gardening staff have left, including two heads and a deputy head. The newspaper said that at the start of this year two staff walked out and that until recently the gardens were still advertising vacancies. One probationary gardener is said to have left after Charles complained 'Don't put that man in front of me again' when he made a factual error about a flower. Sources at the King's Foundation say the gardener failed to meet expectations and was not up to the job. The monarch's involvement with the gardens is said to include specific and emotional requests ranging from the size of peaches to the shade of roses. When in residence at Highgrove he makes daily walkabouts and when he is away he reportedly pens memos written in thick red ink. Formal complaint In 2023, a gardener launched a formal grievance against management claiming the team was overwhelmed, under-resourced and struggling to fulfil the King's requests. The complaint alleged that staff had been injured trying to keep up and morale was low. 'There is little management of HMTK [His Majesty the King's] expectations, and I know I would not be allowed to say we are understaffed,' he reportedly said. As a result of the complaint, WorkNest, a HR consultancy, was brought in to review the evidence of the management and conduct of the gardens' executive director. In late 2023 it upheld claims about staff shortages, inadequate management practices and low pay contributing to poor recruitment and retention. Many gardeners were paid minimum wage and complained that remuneration was well below industry standards. However, it did not uphold personal complaints about the director, who denied his conduct amounted to bullying or harassment. It is also understood that staff turnover is less than half the national average. Only one grievance was reported in the year 2024 to 2025 and staff pay is reviewed on an annual basis. On average, staff pay rises each year since 2022 have totalled, cumulatively, between 15 to 19 per cent. A spokesman for The King's Foundation said: 'At The King's Foundation, we take staff welfare extremely seriously and strive to be an exemplary employer. We are proud to regularly report very high satisfaction rates in our annual staff survey. 'Our staff turnover is well below the national average, as is the number of formal grievances raised. For the gardening team at Highgrove specifically, we regularly review guidance from the Professional Gardeners Guild for pay benchmarking. 'Highgrove has also seen many positive developments since The King's Foundation became the charitable custodian of the gardens. Since 2022, the operating profit has more than doubled, a new education facility teaching traditional heritage skills to hundreds of students has been established, and visitor numbers continue to reach over 40,000 annually.' Sources close to both the King and the Foundation suggested it was 'perfectly reasonable' that the monarch, as the visionary behind Highgrove Gardens, and one who is known for his passion for horticulture, would make suggestions in relation to their management and presentation. The charity's trustees are said to welcome his input, which ensures the integrity of the gardens is maintained, and visitors appreciate his personal involvement.

Manager Claire Sparkes said the collection bins, located at supermarkets and stores across the city, were becoming "overfull" with items including large said it meant people could not get smaller items, such as pet food and litter into the collection boxes. She said: "Duvets are quite big and take up a lot of space, but we do need duvets at Gables."The Greyhounds especially love them - as long as they're not feather ones - because as you can imagine, the chaos it causes. "When one gets ripped open the feathers go everywhere, and the staff spend hours trying to clean it all up."Ms Sparkes said they always needed duvets, towels, and blankets, as well as food, treats and toys for the said: "We always need old towels because we wash the dogs, especially if they get a bit muddy or wet." The collection bins also have a sign which states "no bedding in here please".Ms Sparkes said the charity had more than 100 cats and kittens in its care, some in foster homes, and between 45 to 50 dogs at the centre.

A 40p bathroom staple will get rid of ‘invasive' caterpillars destroying your garden this summer
A BATHROOM staple that sells for only 40p at stores will protect your garden from "invasive" caterpillars. The everyday item is a surprising repellent against the insects that destroy box hedging and topiary plants. 1 Gardeners have been warned to watch out for the box tree moth caterpillar. The caterpillars, which are the larvae of the box tree moth, eat the leaves and bark of box trees. In only a few days, they may turn once-beautiful bushes dark, barren, and beyond rescuing. Ecology specialists at Arbtech have alerted gardeners that the number of caterpillars peak in July and August. 40p solution But a 40p hack can help keep the pests away from your garden. A simple bar of soap from Sainsbury's can prevent caterpillars from ruining your plants. An unscented bar acts as a repellent as many insects dislike the scent and residue that soap leaves behind. Simply leave a bar of soap near your plants or rub residue on leaves to keep insects at bay. Soapy water also works wonders as it dries out caterpillars' outer layer, leading them to die from dehydration. For households with children or pets, soap is a low-risk alternative to chemical pesticides, and when used properly, it is less likely to damage pollinators. Alan Titchmarsh's top 7 plants that 'transform ugly fences with gorgeous flowers & fragrance' & they grow for years Experts' warning Infestations can be disastrous if left untreated with severely affected plants having to be uprooted and replaced completely. An ecologist from Arbtech told Tivy Side: 'Box tree moth caterpillars might look harmless, but they're an invasive species that can strip a healthy plant in no time - and because they often feed from the inside out, many people don't realise there's a problem until it's too late. 'Box hedging is hugely popular in British gardens, so this species is having a serious impact not just aesthetically, but financially too. 'We're urging homeowners to check their plants regularly over the summer months. "Look for tell-tale signs like webbing, leaf loss, or green-and-black striped caterpillars.'
