Highgrove by Prince Of Wales Charles

Highgrove by Prince Of Wales Charles

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 and 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.

Four cooks who worked at Highgrove over the last 20 years have provided the recipes for this book. Charles Clover is the Environment Editor of the Daily Telegraph. He has been three times winner of the national journalist category of British Environment and Media awards. His father was a conventional farmer and his mother was an early member of the Soil Association, the organic farming body. He is married with two sons and lives in Essex.
