A GARDEN prepared at a Hook nursery for the Chelsea Flower Show received a special visit from Prince Harry yesterday.
Landscape designer Matt Keightley created Hope in Vulnerability for Prince Harry's charity Sentebale, and discovered this morning that his masterpiece had received a silver gilt award.
Mr Keightley, of Roseband Landscaping, in Maidenhead, revealed the plants he would use in the garden along with the full-scale design at Hortus Loci Ltd, in Hound Green.
It aims to raise awareness of Sentebale's work providing healthcare and education to vulnerable children in Lesotho, South Africa, where there is a HIV/AIDS epidemic and many people are living in extreme poverty.
Prince Harry joined his grandmother on Monday at Chelsea Flower Show, where The Queen congratulated her grandson on his work for the African charity as she toured Hope in Vulnerability.
The prince said parts of the garden were "exactly like Africa".
