Purchase options and add-ons
The Prince of Wales spent five years turning his Highgrove Estate in the Cotswolds into a model of environmentally-benign farming and gardening. This book records the successes and failures, and the lessons to be shared not only by gardeners, horticulturalists and farmers, but by everyone interested in land, in their environment. In an introductory section Prince Charles shares his vision of Highgrove as a blueprint for the future. Charles Clover depicts the backcloth: the history of the estate, the making of the garden, the wildflower garden, the encouragement of wildlife, the seasons at Highgrove, the experiments in organic farming, and the market for the products.

Beautiful Book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 August 2013Verified Purchase
Whilst I haven't had a chance to read right through the book yet, it would be worth buying just for the pictures alone. The one I have purchased is a used item but has been very well looked after and, aside from a little damage to the edges of the loose cover, is in 'as new' condition. Therefore I thank the seller for the opportunity to buy this book as I would NEVER had been able to afford the full cover price!

I loved, it
Reviewed in the United States on 11 November 2014Verified Purchase
I bought this book when it was first published. I loved, it, someone borrowed it, and I liked it so much I bought a second copy. Now, mostly, I disagree with Prince Charles' views on most things, particularly climate and the environment. Having said that, I DO agree that we should always strive to leave as little a footprint on the natural world as possible. So.... the book...
It's a story of how he put his farming/gardening/ecological vision to work on a piece of property he owned. The tone is chatty, and the Prince comes across as a really nice man. I love the book, because it takes me pretty much step by step through what he did on the property, why he made the choices he made and what worked and didn't. It's not a DIY book though....
The pictures are very nice, and the ideas, are very useful... even if you don't have a Duchy!
