- Editors describe a three‑year transformation that rebuilt formal parterres and introduced a sundial garden, a maze and a topiary garden inspired by Queen Alexandra.
- A 400‑yard magnolia walk planted with hundreds of varieties is among the signature additions highlighted by the magazine.
- Sandringham’s 60 acres of pleasure gardens are usually open April to October, with next spring’s visitor tickets yet to be released according to the estate.
