The winner of the game is the first to stock up on their garden to be self-sufficient, in keeping with the organic farming commitment.

The country home of King Charles and Camilla is Highgrove House in the Duchy of Cornwall with its beautiful countryside. Charles spent a lot of time here with his late wife, Diana, and their two sons, William and Harry. The house in the country fully corresponds to the preferences of the monarch: he loves polo, fishing, watercolor painting and is a passionate environmentalist and organic gardener.
