Trade Review"If ever there was a book to make one a better, more knowledgeable gardener, this is surely it." * The English Garden *
"Beth Chatto combines, as well as anyone at work today and better than most, an eye for good plants, knowledge of their ways and a sensitivity when putting them together." -- Ursula Buchan * Spectator *
"Beth Chatto has to be the plantswoman of the century because she knows how to please plants . . . a desire to emulate these beautiful plantings should be enough to drive all serious gardeners to read the book." -- Mary Keen * Garden *
"Edited with a true artist's eye [...] the beauty of the structural flowering hummocks, the pools, pockets and ribbons of colour, the textural contrasts with punctuating verticals and Mrs. Chatto's now famous plant "veils", is unsurpassed." -- Helen Yemm * The Daily Telegraph *
