In 2016, the Queen of England announced that she would be passed down to Prince William, the eldest grandson. When people sighed for Prince Charles, who should have inherited the throne, he himself was not depressed and lost.
it turned out that this former Prince of Wales crown prince 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.
It took him nearly thirty years to transform this originally moss-covered and deserted land into a 4.5 million square meters of 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 landscaping, 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.
got used to the prince's "received", and the cattle and sheep here do not dodge at all when they meet people. The flock of birds fed by Charles can not only prevent the flooding of snails, but also protect local plants.
Highlov Manor adopted advanced organic agriculture at the beginning of the planning, and there was no trace of artificiality in the open garden. With a simple move like raising cattle and herding sheep, trees and lawns can be "trimmed" instead of machines.
The path connecting the manor and housing is made of stone paved with strong water permeability. 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 complete small ecological systems.
The manor also has a vegetable garden, which relies entirely on extracting mixed fertilizers and natural fertilizers from the fuzzaceae family and seaweed, and supplies fruits and vegetables all year round based on self-circulation.
In addition to providing solar panels with heating and hot water, the estate also has boilers heated with firewood, double-layer insulation windows and ecological insulation devices.
The sewage discharge system of the entire manor is made of reeds. By collecting rainwater, flushing the toilet and irrigating 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 present, he will talk to the plants quietly.
There are nearly 10,000 large trees growing scattered on the entire estate, and the shrubs 1 hedge winding 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 the natural growth method of wasteland.

More than thirty years ago, people mocked the prince for this weird behavior, believing that He is not doing his job properly.
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.
Therefore, the derived ecological brands 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 come from wheat naturally grown on the farm instead of genetically modified crops .
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.
