A celebration of one of the greatest gardens of our time, Highgrove, now 30 years on.
HRH The Prince of Wales' interests encompass a range of humanitarian and social issues: he founded The Prince's Trust in 1976, sponsors The Prince's Charities, and is a patron of numerous other charitable organisations. He has long championed organic farming and sought to raise world awareness of the dangers facing the natural environment, such as climate change. www.princeofwales.gov.uk/ https://twitter.com/ClarenceHouseBunny Guinness is a chartered landscape architect and has been a regular panellist on the long-running BBC Radio 4 programme GARDENER'S QUESTION TIME for 15 years. She also writes a weekly column in the SUNDAY TELEGRAPH.
A superbly illustrated and engaging book. If you've not been there
yourself, you'll feel as though you have when you've enjoyed this
book.
*DAILY EXPRESS*
This book had my eyes on stalks...The Prince is unstoppable...the
garden thoroughly reflects its owner's passions, life, taste and
sense of humour. And that is what a garden should be about.
*DAILY TELEGRAPH*
HIGHGROVE: A GARDEN CELEBRATED takes readers inside the stunning
gardens enjoyed by the heir to the throne and his wife, as well as
offering tips on how to recreate the look at home.
*DAILY MAIL*
This volume is particularly beautiful in its magnificent
photography and the quality of the printing. Our estimable guide
through that paradise, charting each month through the year, is the
landscape designer and Gardener's Question Timepanellist, Bunny
Guinness. Her sound knowledge of practical gardening enables her to
be an excellent and thoughtful recorder of the garden through the
seasons and, most hepfully, to describe some of the methods of
organic husbandry that underpin all that grows there so abundantly.
His Royal Highness's successful creation of a finely tuned
eco-system on land that was formerly degraded by unsympathetic
management is a touching and visionary story, well told here, and
includes his own heartfelt preambles to each chapter
*COUNTRY LIFE*
What makes this book stand out are the stunning photographs from a
trio of distinguished photographers: Marianne Majerus, Andrew
Butler and Andrew Lawson. The pictures sing from every page...
images so breathtaking I want to jump into them, like the children
in Mary Poppins. All are well served by this exceptionally produced
book, with its unusually comprehensive plant list... a book that
does elegant justice to the design, passion and work behind a
remarkable garden
*GARDENS ILLUSTRATED*
The book's considerable merits lie in the conscientious reliability
of Guinness's text, its completeness as a record and the
photographs by Marianne Majerus, Andrew Butler and Andrew Lawson.
These capture all the moods and episodes of this fantastically
varied garden
*HOUSE & GARDEN*
This idyllic Cotswolds have reproduces beautifully in book form.
Divided month by month, the guide illustrateds aspects of the house
and garden through the year, complemented by a little history, an
insight into Prince Charles' horticultural philosophy, and details
of the plants grown. Offering a riot of colour on every page, with
200 photograps in all, you can almost smell the flowers
*DISCOVER BRITAIN*
A vibrant pictorial journey, month by month, through the gardens,
accompanied by an insightful and engagingly honest commentary from
both The Prince of Wales and landscape architect and journalist
Bunny Guinness. This delightful publication recalls the dreams,
trials, errors and ultimate blooming success of these cherished
gardens
*COMPASS MAGAZINE*
The illuminating new book on Highgrove has a text by the designer
Bunny Guinness, superb colour photos and a preface by himself about
each month and what it means to him
*FINANCIAL TIMES*
To bring the glory of the gardens and the environmental message to
a wider audience Charles has co-authored a lavishly illustrated new
book 'Highgrove: A Garden Celebrated'... it is an enchanting
introduction to a natural wonderland, the fruits of a thirty-four
year labour of love
*ROYALTY*
This latest book on Highgrove is a visual feast. The big
photographs are lush and saturated with colour. Almost every
picture is flooded with evocative mists, early dawn rays or the
kind of gentle light that makes British gardens famous around the
world. The writing weaves through this sumptuousness to produce an
extremely comprehensive book on the design and seasonal variations
of one of England's most famous gardens. There is even a huge plant
list as an appendix... The best books on individual gardens give
readers an insight into the character of the creator - whose
motivation, work ethic, limitations or creativity are as
interesting as the result. So it is a joy to find that, in every
month, there is a paragraph written by The Prince of Wales himself.
I was fascinated by his accurate observations of the changing
seasons and they give his creation great credibility
*THE GARDEN*
Shows the Prince of Wales's own garden through the seasons and full
of thought-provoking ideas and stunning illustrations of one of my
favourite gardens
*WAITROSE WEEKEND*
What a stunning record! If you like colourful flora then you will
love this large-format volume with its brilliant photography. Each
month of the year has its own section with a detailed analysis of
how the changing seasons affect every aspect of this wonderful
royal garden... epitomises all that is good about the English
countryside
*THIS ENGLAND*
The garden is a very personal expression of its owner's beliefs, of
the value of working with nature, protecting endangered species,
organic gardening, wildflowers and heritage skills. Inspired by
Hidcote, and without rushing, he has over time developed a series
of 'paintings' for observing light, so that the garden forms a
relaxed network of different spaces. There are lots of intimate
areas with ideas that could be used in smaller gardens
*THE GARDEN DESIGN JOURNAL*
This is a journey through a year in the iconic garden of HRH The
Prince of Wales. With fabulous images from some of the country's
top garden photographers and gorgeous illustrations, the different
areas of Highgrove come to life in turn, whether frosted with snow
of bursting with blooms. I particularly loved the surprising
gatefold pages showing the meadow in all its glory, and Bunny
Guinness's words, which give context and a sense of place
*THE ENGLISH GARDEN Books of the Year 2015*
Beautiful
*WOMAN*
With ravishing photographs, text by Bunny Guinness and lyrical
descriptions by Prince Charles of his favourite monthly highlights,

*DAILY MAIL*
This lavishly illustrated celebration of the garden that Prince
Charles started over 30 years ago makes me want to dash there
immediately. The thinking behind each exquisite section is
described, as are the mistakes and triumphs, and plans for the
future An absolute must for any garden lover
