King Charles III threw open the doors to visitors at Balmoral as of last year, and recently the grounds have undergone renovations, with the monarch taking great care to ensure an immaculate setting for members of the public. The transformation has included the addition of a thistle maze and a Celtic maze garden, and former royal gardener Jack Stooks has shared his thoughts on how these new additions are sentimental to the King..
. Speaking on behalf of Slingo , Jack, who worked as a senior gardener at Highgrove for King Charles for over two decades has revealed the maze is a nod to the King's childhood. "Mazes are very special to Charles as he used to love playing in the maze at Sandringham when he was young.
His grandmother, the late Queen Mother, used to speak fondly about her memories of him in the maze and how much he loved the topiary," said Jack.

Balmoral was also a very special residence for the Queen, so Charles will want others to enjoy a place that was so special for his mother.
It's like a tribute to her." Jack also points out how Charles has cleverly paid a nod to the history.
