内容紹介
When The Prince of Wales bought Highgrove House in 1981 the surrounds consisted of a brown path which ran around the house, a lawn and a few thorn bushes. Twenty years later, he has transformed the land adjoining the house into several exquisite gardens which embody his gardening ideals and organic principles. With help from some of Britain's finest designers, including The Marchioness of Salisbury, Rosemary Verey, Miriam Rothschild and Sir Roy Strong, the Prince of Wales has created highly individual gardens which have now, with his own ideas, reached maturity. The Prince of Wales describes the thinking behind each garden, the mistakes and the triumphs, and his plans for the future. Lavishly illustrated with photographs which capture both the scope and detail of each garden, this is a book which will delight and inspire both gardeners and horticulturalists at every level.
レビュー
Prince Charles is renowned for his views on organic gardening and his passion extends very firmly to his home, Highgrove, deep in the Gloucestershire countryside. A barren landscape bar the grandiose Cedar of Lebanon which initially caught the Prince's eye, it has, since 1980, been transformed by this remarkable, unassuming man into one of the greatest gardens of our time. In close consultation with designers such as Rosemary Verey, Miriam Rothschild and Sir Roy Strong, he has developed a garden that is an important part of Britain's heritage. Totally organically managed, Highgrove is a testament to the Prince's "green" beliefs and a wake-up call to all non-believers - a garden of Eden in the midst of a polluted world. This gloriously illustrated book is full of photographs by renowned photographers Andrew Lawson and Christopher Simon Sykes whose styles perfectly capture the essence of the place from the kitchen gardens to the woodland, the terraces to the wildflower meadows. Accompanied by the expert text of Candida Lycett Green, this is a fitting eulogy giving a readable and enjoyable picture of the thought, work and future hopes for Highgrove by the Prince and his gardeners. - Lucy Watson

チャールズ皇太子の庭が雑誌で取り上げられて以来、薔薇とイングリッシュガーデン愛好家の私にとって英国皇太子とローズマリーヴェレイ女史は心の師と仰ぐ存在です。本書サイズは23×20×２とBAGに入れて持ち運べる手軽さと頑丈なハードカバー仕立て、中身は殆んどが絵のように美しい写真です（アンドリューローソン氏参加）。価格は2000年出版のものよりページが60程増えたのに半額になっていますから、絶対買い！友人へ大体の園芸専門洋書のハードカバーは大きく重たくて家でしか開けないのが難点でしたけれど、これは持ち歩ける本です。気に入りました！！

A House that is a real Home

This is a very lovely book that features the thoughtful and sensitive planning by HRH and his lovely wife, Camilla. The planned naturalness of the gardens and the charming juxtaposition of rustic and classic pleases my sensibilities right down to the ground. It is truly fun and inspiring to ponder what could be adapted here, in a modest form, around my own place. I love the unity and perception and depth that this wonderful book allows me to share. I thank the Prince and Mrs. Prince for sharing this with me and others. That all the planning and planting is done using organic substances makes it all the more important. We are very excited to change our little grassy field into a wildflower meadow. And, even though we don't have access to many huge stumps with massive and marvelous root systems, I am keeping my eyes open. Thank you.

This is an in depth look at the magnificent gardens of Prince Charles' country retreat, well researched and written with great pictures. The prior history of Highgrove Gardens is well presented and illustrated .Nice to get away from the 'doom and gloom' , what will happen to the monarchy' stuff!
