External Reviews
'Britain's most talented and esteemed garden designer' - The Observer.
"I really enjoyed this book, I don't regret for a second that I bought it. To say something about the title: it's really appropriate. I was surprised at first to see several entire chapters dedicated to roof gardens and small basement entrances. The book is full of great detailed photographs and it is a real pleasure to read even if you are not interested in applying some of the methods/ principles to your own garden. I guess this is a one I'll re-read again and again." - Goodreads Review.
