DESCRIPTION
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 Lawson's elegant photographs and with Country Living gardening editor Stephanie Donaldson, the Prince's 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.

This is almost a lifestyle book rather than a how to for organic gardening. Though he does do some of that. I found how he spoke of the different soils and how to treat them and what to do with them and what grows on the various types. I think he touches upon permaculture, root cellaring and gets into alternative systems which I was very glad to see and discusses some of the business of running a botanical garden enterprise. I found that interesting too. Prince Charles is in many organizations that have to do organic gardening, environment...the Soil Association, heritage apple trees and others. Nice picture of him on the dust jacket; green to lavender are his "colors". :) His book "Harmony" is strictly on the environment; it is a fabulous book. So much it. It is a great primer for the new environmentalist.
