Meet the latest TV gardener – Queen Mary of Denmark

Queen Mary of Denmark has added a new string to her bow – she’s now a TV gardener.

Queen Mary appeared on ‘Søren Vester’s Garden – Biodiversity and Castle Gardens’, which has just been shown on Danish TV.

The Danish queen welcomed Sara Vester to Fredensborg ‘Palace, the Danish Royal Family’s spring and autumn home, where they explored the extensive gardens together. Dating back to the eighteenth century, the palace has sweeping Baroque gardens.

The show focuses on the importance of biodiversity and ‘wild gardens’, a concept that Mary has brought to the palace gardens. She was happy to open up the gates to allow Vester and the cameras in. On Instagram she shared, ‘I never imagined that I would participate in a program about gardens. My knowledge of gardens… was brought to life after we planted a small wild garden in Fredensborg.  It was a pleasure to show Søren Vester this part of our garden, which is both a small contribution to biodiversity and ‘wild’ beautiful.’

Joined by her Border Collie throughout, Mary chose a casual look. She debuted a new floral blouse from Sea Ny, a cropped white blouse with long sleeves and colourful floral embroidery work. Paired with khaki shorts and a pair of Michel Vivien braided sandals, she is staying in summer mode for as long as possible.
