Shocking Beauty

Using examples from exceptional gardens throughout North America & Europe, the author shows how freeing up the mind from the bonds of conventional garden design concepts can result in gardens of singular allure.

Thomas Hobbs, internationally known impresario of garden and floral design, is proprietor of Southlands Nursery in Vancouver, Canada. His private garden has been featured in many prominent gardening magazines. A frequent media commentator on gardening matters, Hobbs has spoken before gardening groups and professional associations throughout North America.
