I say biodiversity could save the nation - get rid of all HRH and their hangers on.

I am no great supporter of royalty, but one of my daughters was taken round the kitchen garden at Highgrove some years ago by HRH himself and she was greatly impressed by his knowledge and enthusiasm. He certainly knew what he was talking about on vegetable growing!

It's good to know that HRH and me are on the same wavelength :wink:

What a pity he's not giving the keynote speech at the Garden Organic Gardening Conference 2011, in May.

Is anyone thinking of going?
