The Prince of Wales has made a visit to Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons in Milton to view an organic heritage garden commissioned by Raymond Blanc. 

Prince Charles spent an hour in conversation with designers of the garden which include rare varieties of vegetable, such as Carathas Purple Popped Pea. 

Raymond Blanc OBE and Prince Charles both planted trees in an orchard to mark the occasion. 

When commenting on the weather, Prince Charles said: "Just the day for planting a tree."
