Here, in designs for more than 20 gardens, Penelope Hobhouse offers her knowledge as a designer, plantswoman and colourist, seeking to help readers to create their own successful gardens. Many of the designs are for urban sites - small town gardens in London and Surrey, a courtyard garden in Paris and a herb garden in New York.
