The Elements of Organic Gardening

About this book

From the Prince of Wales an intimate guide to his Royal gardens and pioneering organic approach to creating world-class beauty. For twenty-six years the Prince of Wales has passionately honed the organic practices used at Highgrove Their Royal Highnesses family home in Gloucestershire as well as in his other gardens at Birkhall in the Scottish Highlands and Clarence House in central London. Now alongside Andrew Lawsons elegant photographs and with Country Living gardening editor Stephanie Donaldson the Princes vivid elucidation of his techniques for maintaining healthy soil planting varieties and sustaining an ecosystem "in harmony with the natural laws and rhythms of the universe of which we are an integral part" offers a wealth of wisdom to delight and inspire any gardener. His practices based on a deep respect for nature can be adapted to almost any garden large or small. The Prince is hands-on in his gardens and it is this passion that reveals itself intimately to be at the heart of The Elements of Organic Gardening. 200 full-color photographs.
