Hillier announces collaboration with The King’s Foundation

 

Hillier Nurseries and Garden Centres, one of the leading names in the UK horticultural industry, has announced its new partnership with The King’s Foundation, the charity established by King Charles III in 1990 dedicated to building sustainable communities and transforming lives. 

 

United by a shared commitment, this partnership will promote environmental sustainability, community enrichment, and educational initiatives, reflecting the Hillier dedication to making a lasting impact within the horticulture and retail industries. 

 

As part of the collaboration, Hillier will contribute its expertise to support The King’s Foundation’s community engagement and education initiatives at Highgrove Gardens, including supporting local schoolchildren to develop gardening skills, providing talks and workshops at Highgrove for the local community, and assisting with sustainability projects designed to inspire and engage communities. 

 

George Hillier, Chairman of Hillier commented, “We are delighted to be working with The King’s Foundation to combine our horticultural heritage with their inspiring vision for building sustainable communities. This partnership is more than just a short-term collaboration – it's a long-term investment in sustainability and education. By combining our knowledge with The King’s Foundation’s impactful programmes, we hope to make a lasting difference to many communities.” 

 

The announcement coincides with The King’s Foundation celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2025, a significant milestone in its mission to transform communities and improve lives through education, heritage preservation and environmental stewardship. 

 

Constantine Innemée, Highgrove Director for The King’s Foundation said, “As we celebrate our 35th anniversary this year, we are thrilled to be working with Hillier to further our mission to protect nature and promote sustainability and introduce Hillier customers to our beautiful heritage sites across the UK.”
