Penelope Hobhouse on Gardening by Penelope Hobhouse

Penelope Hobhouse shares her lifetime's experience of designing and making gardens, and reveals the secrets behind her distinctive style of gardening. Taking as her model Tintinhull, the garden she tended for 14 years, as well as using other practical examples from the gardens she has designed, she communicates her knowledge of: design - how to achieve the style and atmosphere you want; planting - planting plans that can be transferred from the page to the flower bed and essays on favourite plants that help gardeners make their choices; and practical gardening skills - close-up photographs show how she takes cuttings, plants up pots, prunes, propagates, controls weeds and performs other gardening techniques.
