A NEW plant will be introduced at this spring?s Chelsea Flower Show by nationally acclaimed gardeners Ann and Roger Bowden of Sticklepath.

Ann and Roger are proud to be associated with the royal garden at Highgrove and its collection of hostas ? and in May they will be introducing a hosta called Prince of Wales at the famous flower show.

The couple said the Prince is a keen gardener and his interests include hostas and ferns for shaded areas. The prince?s garden will feature in a BBC2 programme this Sunday, entitled Highgrove ? a Prince?s Legacy? at 6.25pm.

Ann and Roger?s garden at Cleave House will be open for charity on April 26 and 27, May 31 and June 1 from 10.30am until 5pm.
