Description

A glimpse inside Prince Charles’ Highgrove home with its strange garden

The Prince of Wales describes here how he has created probably the most great gardens of our time. When he bought Highgrove House in 1981, the surroundings consisted of a brown path which ran around the home, a lawn, and a couple of thorn bushes. He explains how he has transformed the land adjoining the home into several exquisite gardens which embody his gardening ideals and organic principles. He discusses how—with lend a hand from a few of Britain’s finest designers, including The Marchioness of Salisbury, Rosemary Verey, Miriam Rothschild, and Sir Roy Strong—he has created highly individual gardens which have now, with his own ideas, reached maturity. He describes the thinking in the back of each and every garden, the mistakes and the triumphs, and his plans for the future. Lavishly illustrated with photographs which capture both the scope and detail of each and every garden, this book will delight and inspire both gardeners and horticulturalists at each level. It also features planting lists and information at the organic principles on which the garden is run.
