Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could describe your garden as a jewel box full of beautiful plant treasures? In this sequel to the bestselling Shocking Beauty, garden impresario Thomas Hobbs shows you how. The Jewel Box Garden is a luscious, full-color book that features 160 new and startling photos by renowned garden photographer David McDonald. Hobbs explains his philosophy of gardening and life, or as he puts it, "Life As We Dream It Could Be." In his own provocative and highly original way, he encourages gardeners to tap into their creativity and invest their heart and soul in creating oases of beauty — intimate spaces where they can escape the pressures of modern life.

Rich photo imagery

I purchased this book after seeing it at my friend's house. I am a garden designer and love to look at the delicious photos. It is especially needed during the humid hot dog days of summer here in the South to remember how beautiful a garden can be. I'd recommend this book to all my gardening friends.

This book is exquisite! I have had a copy for several years and have given many as presents over the years. The pictures are fabulous. It has so many ideas you can use in your own garden or patio. Jewel Box is the perfect name for this book. I would rate it more than 5 stars if I could.

Everything I wanted and more from a garden inspiration book. I live in Southern CA and I want to make my garden drought friendly without going
a la natural, this book brinks a lot of wonderful ideas that I am working on NOW.

This was a gift for my daughter in law and she loved it. It came earlier than expected, which was great.

The writing is a bit florid in parts but lots of lovely and inventive planting ideas in this book - including a few I already had in my own garden. I would certainly recommend it
