5.0 out of 5 stars A great garden design book!, 12 Nov 2007
A friend of mine introduced this book to me when I was doing research and writing Planting Design Illustrated. I loved it. It has many great photos to illustrate garden design. It is a collection of garden design done by Penelop Hobhouse and her partner. It enlightens you and encourages to look at a design issue at a detail scale. Very good images. It'll show you how brilliant human beings can be.

Penelop Hobhouse is one of the best writers on gardening and garden design, her books always have great print quality and very nice color photos. No offence, she is also one of the great people that dare to call a garden a garden, not "landscape." She is actually talking about landscape design issues, but she prefers to use the term garden or gardens and make her book closer to ordinary people. As a design professional, I love her books also.
