  This journal introduces each month with a key concept to guide gardeners. This record book features the 12 Hobhouse rules for good gardening, the first of which is to keep personal notes of gardens visited, of plants seen and plants bought, of setbacks as well as successes. She reminds gardeners of the pleasures as well as the value of recording seasonal changes in the garden, of noting tasks accomplished and jobs to be done. Photographs show a wide range of successful gardens, from Butterstream in Ireland to West Dean in Sussex and Penelope Hobhouse's own garden in Dorset. Penelope Hobhouse is the author of Colour in Your Garden , Garden Style , The Country Gardener , Flower Gardens and Penelope Hobhouse on Gardening .
