Shopper's Diary: Highgrove Shop by Julie

Issue 15 · British Design · April 8, 2008

We couldn't resist this story. Prince Charles has opened a shop in the ancient Cotswold town of Tetbury, selling organic items from his Duchy line, vegetables from his estate, and all manner of garden tools and accessories: pitchforks, flowerpots, sickles, saws, gardening string, and old galvanized watering cans. Also a range of specially designed Highgrove ceramics from Stoke on Kent Burleigh Pottery. (Diehard royalists take note: The Highgrove Shop is located in a "splendid 1790 listed building"—a former bank—that has been refurbished; the nine Counting House flats above the shop are currently for sale.)
