Camilla, the Duchess of Rothesay, has officially inaugurated a therapeutic garden for cancer patients at Dundee's Maggie's Centre in the UK.

Famed landscape designer Arabella Lennox-Boyd created this 33 kilometer enclosure that will help cancer patients stay in a soothing and calm atmosphere.

"This is a groundbreaking step for Maggie's, as we open our first ever therapeutic landscaping project, which will form an intrinsic part of the healing experience for centre users," said Laura Lee, chief executive of Maggie's Center.

Her Royal Highness Camilla was given a tour of the garden and met with families who use the facilities there.
