When the Prince of Wales bought Highgrove House in 1981 the surrounds consisted of a brown patch which ran around the house, a lawn, a few thorn bushes, and the graceful Cedar of Lebanon, one of the reasons why he fell in love with the house. Eighteen years later, The Prince of Wales has transformed the land adjoining the house into several exquisite gardens which embody his gardening ideals and organic principles. Highgrove is now regarded as one of the great gardens of our time. To the advice of some of Britain's finest garden designers, the Prince of Wales has added his own ideas.
With Candida Lycett Green, the Prince describes the thinking behind each garden, how it was conceived and achieved, the mistakes and the triumphs, its continually changing nature, and his plans for the future. Lavishly illustrated with photographs by Christopher Simon Sykes and Andrew Lawson, 'The Garden At Highgrove' captures the scope and detail of each garden and will delight and inspire both gardeners and horticulturalists at every level.
