Highgrove: An Experiment in Organic Gardening and Farming

A gorgeously illustrated (with some 160 color photographs), coffee-table history of how the Prince of Wales turned his Highgrove estate into a model of environmentally-benign gardening and farming. Actually, only the introductory and concluding chapters are attributed to Prince Charles, the remainder being provided by Clover, the environmental editor for the Daily Telegraph , who sketches in 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. 9.5x11.25" Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
