Highgrove

Highgrove: A Garden Celebrated is a commemoration of the beautiful, mature garden that the Prince of Wales started over thirty years ago. When HRH Prince Charles bought Highgrove House in 1981, the surrounds consisted of a brown path which ran around the house, a lawn and a few thorn bushes. Now thirty years later, he has transformed the land adjoining the house into several exquisite gardens which embody his gardening ideals and organic principles. With help from some of Britain's finest designers, including The Marchioness of Salisbury, Rosemary Verey, Miriam Rothschild and Sir Roy Strong, the Prince of Wales has created highly individual gardens which have now, with his own horticultural ideas, reached maturity. The Prince of Wales describes the thinking behind each 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 garden, this book will delight and inspire both gardeners and horticulturalists at every level.
