Secrets Of The Royal PalacesSeason 1, Episode 5

Highgrove House in Gloucester is the smallest royal residence currently in use, with only nine bedrooms. It is Prince Charles’s own creation - he bought it, renovated it and made an extraordinarily innovative and inspiring garden in the 12 acres that surround the house. Described as an organic oasis, they include a sewage garden where ‘very beautiful reed beds deal with human waste in an organic way’ according to Jennie Bond.
