Summary

HIGHGROVE: A GARDEN CELEBRATED is a commemoration of the beautiful, mature gardens planned and planted by The Prince of Wales over thirty years ago。 The gardens at Highgrove evoke intense emotion。 In January, the dramatic light and early snowdrops of the Stumpery are exquisite; the glistening emerald lawns and tree blossoms in Spring lift the spirits with a promise of what is to come; in Summer, the longed-for delphiniums in the Sundial Garden stand proudly to attention and dramatic leaf colours welcome Autumn to the Arboretum as the harvesting in the Kitchen Garden begins。 In Winter the structural elements of the garden have their moment of glory as the year comes to a close and the cycle of the seasons continues。 Lavishly illustrated with photographs that capture both the light and detail of this magisterial space, this beautiful book will delight and inspire gardeners of every level。 It is an exquisite celebration of garden design, passion and inspiration。

Remarkable photos and informative commentary。 If only this book contained more photographs of the stumpery, it would then be perfect。

So beautiful。。。 I'm looking forward to a visit next fall and will be particularly on the lookout for asters and dahlias, as well as the Stumpery and Tapestry gardens。 So beautiful。。。 I'm looking forward to a visit next fall and will be particularly on the lookout for asters and dahlias, as well as the Stumpery and Tapestry gardens。 。。。more

All the Highgrove books are lovely, but after awhile, redundant。

Excellent book about the beautiful gardens at Highgrove。 I highly recommend visiting the gardens as well。 Taking photos is not allowed for security reasons, and this book is a lovely keepsake。

I have a little thing for Prince Charles, I can't help it。 This book is a personal account of an extraordinary garden, developed over thirty years。 From the death of a grandparent, weddings, milestone birthdays, travels and friendships, the lives of sons, all these events are represented in the garden via various elements。 One garden was inspired by Prince Charles gazing at a Persian carpet。 I learned that the meadows of Transylvania are largely pristine with fantastic flowers and insect life du I have a little thing for Prince Charles, I can't help it。 This book is a personal account of an extraordinary garden, developed over thirty years。 From the death of a grandparent, weddings, milestone birthdays, travels and friendships, the lives of sons, all these events are represented in the garden via various elements。 One garden was inspired by Prince Charles gazing at a Persian carpet。 I learned that the meadows of Transylvania are largely pristine with fantastic flowers and insect life due to ancient farming practices (now threatened, of course) and scything has become a popular activity due to new light-weight scythes。 Although most of us wouldn't be able to develop a garden on this scale, it still gave me ideas and inspiration for a small space。 。。。more
