UK: Prince of Wales views rare vegetables

The Prince of Wales has visited a garden belonging to celebrated chef Raymond Blanc to view rare vegetables.

The National Heritage Garden at Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons in Great Milton, Oxfordshire, has almost 140 rare specimens including the Delicata squash and the Carruthers pea.

The prince was overheard telling the restaurateur, "you're a genius" as he inspected the specimens.

He also planted an organic fruit tree to commemorate the visit.

The garden was opened by Mr Blanc in June and is run in partnership with Garden Organic and its Heritage Seed Library.

It aims to conserve vegetable varieties from across Northern Europe that could otherwise disappear.

Prince Charles has been its patron for more than 25 years.
