The Garden at Highgrove

When The Prince of Wales bought Highgrove House in 1981 the surroundings 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.

From her early childhood, when her eccentric mother would take her on trips around the country in a horse-cart or on horseback, Candida Lycett Green has retained a love for the open road, of travelling at a saunter, of casting an eye on England through the back door. Framed by a recent journey on horseback from Yorkshire to the Scottish borders, this lifelong odyssey dips back into similar journeys in her past, revealing an idyllic childhood in the bohemian Betjeman household, with moonlit rides over the Downs, and wild picnics on Cornish beaches; a charmed youth in the swinging 60s, participating in the founding of Private Eye and travelling overland to India with her husband Rupert Lycett Green; and a subsequent journey undertaken with her own children and friends along the forgotten paths and bridleways of England. Blending lyrical impressions of landscape with echoes of her father's writing, this horseback amble combines the poetic with the down-to-earth, stately homes with humble farms, soaring churches with winding country lanes. Candid's recent fight with breast cancer poignantly underpins this personal story.
