King Charles has lovingly revamped his gardens for the delight of Prince William and Kate's children, showcasing his deep affection for his grandchildren.

The monarch, known for his green fingers, has made significant changes to his royal gardens, ensuring they are a perfect playground for Prince George and his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

The King, a passionate environmentalist and the most ardent gardening enthusiast in the Royal family has made three substantial modifications to his gardens across his estates.

His longstanding commitment to tree planting is well-known, and he has often spoken about his desire to conserve the natural world for future generations, including his grandchildren, reports the Mirror.

In a nod to his environmental efforts, last year saw Charles actively participating in the Queen's Green Canopy project during the Jubilee celebrations, where he personally planted trees at the Balmoral Cricket Pavilion.

He fondly recalls planting saplings with a young Prince George at Highgrove, hoping to instill a lasting interest in horticulture as his grandson matures.

During an interview with BBC Radio 4, the-then Prince Charles: "The most important thing is I got him [George] planting a tree or two here, so we planted it together and shovelled in the earth.

"That's the way I think, when you are very small, and then each time they come you sa, 'Do you see how much the tree has grown?', or whatever, and you hope that they take an interest."

Charles has also transformed a barren field into a lush woodland in honour of his first grandchild's birth. This green oasis is located on the Birkhall Estate in Balmoral, Aberdeenshire.

In a previous interview with the BBC, he shared: "This was a rather empty field that the farm didn't need anymore. The great thing was, I managed to plant it the same year that my grandson was born, the eldest, George. So, I thought I'd call it Prince George's Wood. I just hope he appreciates it one day."

In their youth, Prince William and Prince Harry enjoyed a treehouse at their father's country residence, Highgrove House.

However, following the birth of Prince George in 2013, the King ensured the house was refurbished for the next generation of Royal children. Recently, Prince Charles unveiled a new children's playground at Dumfries House in Scotland, featuring a treehouse tower inspired by George's treehouse in Gloucestershire.
