This is one book we regularly gravitate to and pick up for inspiration and also for a bit of escapism into Jimi Blake's beautiful garden haven in Blessington, County Wicklow. 

The photos of his garden are truly magic, and his plant suggestions to bring drama and tropical colour into your own garden are helpful, interesting and a joy to read. 

Jimi Blake has spent the last 25 years collecting stand-out plants which he grows in dynamic and innovative ways at the fabulous Hunting Brook Gardens. Exotics with extraordinary shaped leaves set off fine collections of salvias and dahlias in this bold, experimental garden. Hunting Brook is always on the move and even regular visitors find fresh surprises around every corner.
