Informative, educational, and enjoyable. Penelope provides a good review of garden design principles that is interesting and relaxing to watch. Winter is a good time to enjoy this item and make plans fort the spring.

It is fascinating to see Penelope Hobhouse in person, after reading many of her garden design books.

This is a truly inspirational DVD set. I had never heard of Penelope Hobhouse, but now understand the reason for her fame.

Not only was I able to feast my eyes on dozens of beautiful gardens, but I learnt a wealth of information. The presenter is very engaging and her love and passion for plants and gardening is infectious. It is assumed that most of the viewers are in North America, which was useful to me; Ms. Hobhouse demonstrated how the designs of the English garden, the styles of gardens in America with the plants and conditions that we have here can all be combined to create a beautiful landscape wherever you happen to be. Her interviews with experts in Europe and the States are also very informative. I can't wait to watch the entire DVD set all over again.
