Synopsis

"The pictures...bring inspiration and envy to the heart of almost any gardener, and the text tells an interesting story of the royal gardener's victories and defeats."--The Times. Take a royal tour of Prince Charles' celebrated Highgrove Estate, led by the future monarch himself. In his own words, he chronicles his frustrations, failures, and finally success at turning his Cotswolds home into a matchless example of enlightened gardening in action. Every breathtaking photograph attests to his achievement, including landscapes of blossoms, meadows with wildflowers, fields with grazing animals, and elegantly established structures. The Prince has spent the last decade realizing this challenging and inspiring dream, and he now wants to share it with gardeners, farmers, horticulturists, and anyone concerned with maintaining the countryside and environment at large.
