HIGHGROVE: A GARDEN CELEBRATED is a commemoration of the beautiful, mature gardens planned and planted by The Prince of Wales over thirty years ago.

The gardens at Highgrove evoke intense emotion. In January, the dramatic light and early snowdrops of the Stumpery are exquisite; the glistening emerald lawns and tree blossoms in Spring lift the spirits with a promise of what is to come; in Summer, the longed-for delphiniums in the Sundial Garden stand proudly to attention, and dramatic leaf colours welcome Autumn to the Arboretum as the harvesting in the Kitchen Garden begins. In Winter, the structural elements of the garden have their moment of glory as the year comes to a close and the cycle of the seasons continues.

Lavishly illustrated with photographs that capture both the light and detail of this magisterial space, this beautiful book will delight and inspire gardeners of every level. It is an exquisite celebration of garden design, passion, and inspiration.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Highgrove is praised for its superb illustrations and engaging presentation that makes readers feel as though they've visited the famous gardens themselves. Alan Titchmarsh admired its effect in the Daily Express, while Stephen Lacey in the Daily Telegraph highlighted how the garden reflects the owner's passions and humour. The Daily Mail appreciated its combination of stunning photography and practical gardening tips, with insights into organic methods underpinning the garden's abundance.
