The wildlife garden at Fredensborg

29 June 2022

Crown Princess Mary has been President of the WWF World Wide Fund for Nature in Denmark for about two years now. She was asked to become President after her father-in-law passed away. Prince Henrik was one of the initiators of bringing WWF World Wide Fund for Nature to Denmark.

WWF World Wide Fund for Nature Secretary General Bo Øksnebjerg was invited to visit the Crown Princess at Fredensborg Castle, where the Crown Prince family lives (here). The royal couple once decided to make part of the private garden surrounding Kancellihuset all about wildlife. Plants were chosen to support biodiversity and make the garden more attractive to, among others, insects.

Along with a few photos from Bo Øksnebjerg's visit in the private garden, also comes a short interview. Among other, Crown Princess Mary mentions how much she loves nature and how fascinated she is of nature. She always loved all kinds of plants and flowers, but only the last few years it has become a true interest of hers to know more about the different fauna and flora.



I truly wish, I would look like that when wondering around in a t-shirt, trousers and rubber boots in my garden. I don't. Somehow, Mary manages to look great no matter time and place. Lately, she has been very fond of t-shirts. Let us admit it - Mary wear them with such elegance. I still need to identify this one (and many others). She matche the navy blue shirt with new Polo Ralph Lauren trousers. I learned about them trousers at UFO No More.

Mary embraced a chic garden-style by wearing a brown leather belt and greenish Le Chameau rubber boots. How many can brag about having seen their Crown Princess in rubber boots? Denmark can! We get a tiny glimpse of some golden jewellery as well. The two necklaces are from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Rebekka Notkin. The golden bracelet is rather new and still not identified. Maybe one day.

  1. Anyone can do something similar - just convert a useless lawn into a wild flower field. That is what Mary intends with her presentation. We have done it two years ago. It is not very difficult! Just make sure you buy seeds that are regional for your area! Lawn is not contemporary any more when bees and insects need food!

    1. It is indeed a very easy, but helpfull way to help our nature, insects, plantlife, etc. Another positive thing is that a wildlife flower garden is, it is incredibly beautiful!
