The gardens were the source of inspiration for the British composer Patrick Hawes when he was asked to write a piece of music for The Prince of Wales's 60th birthday in 2008. The resultant piece entitled "Goddess of the Woods" was first performed on the Prince's birthday in the Floral Hall of the Royal Opera House. Three further movements ensued to create the "Highgrove Suite" each depicting different areas of the gardens at Highgrove. The suite was premiered at Highgrove on 8 June 2010 with the royal harpist Claire Jones and the Philharmonia orchestra.
