A book of inspiration for the perennial gardener
10 May 1997
Format:Hardcover
I have pored over the pages of this book and learned volumes from it. Hobhouse's discussion of color theory and its relationship to the garden is a revelation, and her suggestions and illustrations of garden companions are inspirational.
When you get serious about designing your borders, this is essential reading.
