A product of one of the goddesses of the green thumb, Jekyll's 1964 book is chock-full of information on making your garden flourish. Her instruction covers not only the ins and outs of growing plants but how to think about them as well.

Excellent summary of Jekyll's work on gardens
This book has become my bedtime reading material. It offers an excellent summary of Jekyll's views on color, plant selection, the layout of beds and the philosophy of the garden. While I would have liked detailed drawings or layouts of the various gardens discussed, her written descriptions feed the imagination. I've already laid out a new garden border as a result of the insights gained, and I am inspired to read other works by Jekyll and others
