The Prince of Wales has spent ten years or so trying to turn his Highgrove estate in the Cotswolds into a model of environmentally-benign farming and gardening. Highgrove: Portrait of an Estate records the successes, failures and lessons to be shared, not only by gardeners, horticulturists and farmers but by everyone interested in the countryside and in the environment at large. In a fascinating introductory section the Prince of Wales spells out what his vision for Highgrove has been and in a concluding chapter considers the ways in which Highgrove might be developed as a blueprint for the future. Charles Clover, Environment Editor of the Dally Telegraph, sketches in the backcloth: the history of the estate, the making of the garden, the wildflower garden, the way wildlife was encouraged, the reasons behind the decision to make the farm organic and the development of markets for organic products. This book is illustrated throughout with colour photographs by garden photographer Andrew Lawson, and by Maurice and Carroll Tibbles who filmed a Survival Special for Anglia Television on wildlife at Highgrove.

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!

It is well put together and brings out the the best of Prince Charles as this is his world so as many of us will ever do this at our homes why not enjoy it in print But even for the small gardener there is much to be learnt from this book a good read

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!
