In 2016, the Queen of England announced that she would be passed on to Prince William, the eldest grandson. When people sighed for the throne, Prince Charles, who should have inherited the throne, he himself was not depressed.
It turns out that this former Prince of Wales, the crown prince of Wales, is a man who does not love the throne and the manor. The Heglov Manor is his kingdom.
1980 When he first stepped into this Gloucester , known as the most beautiful town in the UK, he was deeply attracted by the beautiful natural scenery here.
He bought the Heglov Manor and spent nearly thirty years transforming this originally moss-covered and deserted land into a 4.5 million square meter ecological garden that meets organic growth, becoming the art of Great Britain Miracle.
hiking here, Heglov Manor is not like some royal family gardens full of artificial landscape sculptures, it is full of natural wild fun.
Niu Niu are happily eating grass, and wild minks are leisurely playing with the fat koi in the pond.
is used to the prince's "received", and the cattle and sheep here do not dodge when they meet people. The flock of birds fed by Charles can not only prevent the flooding of snails, but also protect local plants.
Heglov Manor adopted advanced organic agriculture at the beginning of its planning, and there was no trace of artificiality in the open garden.
Through simple measures like raising cattle and herding sheep, it can "trim" trees and lawns instead of machines.
The path connecting the manor and housing uses a stone pavement with strong water permeability, and more than 30 kinds of locally grown wild flowers and weeds are planted in the garden.
In addition to not destroying the local ecology, many plants and insects naturally form a complete small ecological system.
The manor also has a vegetable garden, which relies entirely on the mixed fertilizer and natural fertilizer extracted from the fuzzaceae and seaweed to supply fruits and vegetables all year round on the basis of self-circulation.
In addition to providing solar panels with heating and hot water, the estate also has a boiler heated with firewood, double-layer insulation windows and ecological insulation.
The sewage discharge system of the entire estate is made of reeds. By collecting rainwater to flush the toilet and irrigate the land, the liquid sewage is repurified into clean drinking water.
The elegant prince took off his decent dress and turned into a farmer, walked through the muddy fields, raised animal husbandry, managed farmland, and planted plants himself.
It is said that when no one is around, he will talk to the plants quietly.
There are nearly 10,000 large trees growing scattered on the entire estate, and the shrubs hedges wind for 8 miles.
Prince Charles is crazy about trees. He personally built a tree house to commemorate his beloved Lebanese pine tree withered and died.
Each area in the garden has a different theme, but the similarity is that the plants are only neatly trimmed when they are close to the housing, and the rest adopt a natural growth method of wasteland.

thirty years ago, people mocked the prince for this weird behavior and thought he It's not doing the right job.
But after more than thirty years, when the concept of ecological farming has become a global consensus, Prince Charles' advanced philosophy has made him a leader in rural farms around the world.
And this Heglov Manor, which he personally took care of, has developed into an important brand and display place for ecological agriculture.
The ecological brands derived from this include food retail company Whole Foods and the ecological food department of various department stores.
In 1990, Duchy Originals Company was established, and it has developed three series of more than hundreds of products including ecological food, personal care products, and home gardening tools.
In addition, he also gave the ecological concept of Heglov Manor to Heglov store, which specializes in selling green food in the manor.
What is sold here is the ecological foods supplied in the manor, such as good-bred potatoes and strawberry .
Honey is also picked by the "royal" bees from the clover fields and dandelion fields of the manor, while the bread and snacks baked on-site are from wheat naturally grown on the farm instead of the genetically modified crop .
Prince Charles even became an ecological kitchen. All the ingredients in his kitchen are grown in organic farms, with vegetables, melons and fruits.
Prince Charles wrote a lot of books for this manor, and even published a recipe, which is classified by four seasons. Of course, the food ingredients are all ecological vegetables and fruits advocated by Charles.
Outside the reinforced concrete forest, Charles' estate has allowed us to re-understand nature. He always takes good care of every detail of the manor, hoping to inspire others to protect the rural scenery together.
