Britain's Prince Charles' gardening book teaching people to talk to plants is to go on sale in the U.S. next month.

Charles - who once famously claimed he talked to trees - co-wrote 'The Elements of Organic Gardening' with Stephanie Donaldson, the gardening editor of Country Living magazine.

The book details Charles' passion for gardening without the use of man-made chemicals or pesticides.

He writes in the book's introduction: "I can only say that for some reason I felt in my bones that if you abuse nature unnecessarily and fail to maintain a balance, then she will probably abuse you in return."

Charles has honed his skills as an organic farmer on the grounds of his royal Gloucestershire residence Highgrove.

The estate boasts 15-acres of formal gardens, meadows, vegetable gardens and orchards.

He also has organic gardens at Birkhall, in the Scottish highlands, and Clarence House, in central London.

Meanwhile, it was reported earlier this week that Charles also plans to release a documentary film outlining his views on man's relationship with nature.

The prince hopes to have finished documentary 'The Harmony Project' by his 60th birthday in November next year.
