QuoteThe Prince of Wales has written a new book about the gardens at his Highgrove home in Tebury, Gloucestershire.
Written with Bunny Guinness, a chartered landscape architect, journalist and radio personality who is a regular panellist on the long running BBC Radio 4 programme, Gardener's Question Time, the book called HIGHGROVE: A Garden Celebrated is a commemoration of the sustainable garden started by His Royal Highness over 30 years ago.
The Prince said: "I find it hard to believe that by the time this book is published I shall have been at Highgrove for almost thirty-four years ... my enduring hope is that those who visit the garden may find something to inspire, excite, fascinate or soothe them."
When The Prince bought Highgrove House in 1980, the surrounds consisted of a brown path which ran around the house, a lawn and a few thorn bushes. Now three decades later, he has transformed the land adjoining the house into several gardens which embody his gardening ideals and organic principles, reflecting long-standing concerns relating to global sustainability.
