Review :
'Expect a serious case of garden envy when leafing through … The methods and ideas for landscaping and planting throughout the book are sure to inspire your own plot' - Grand Designs 'A generous page size and lavish photography depicting 24 of Stuart-Smith’s gardens at their peak enable the reader to feel they have walked into them … Throughout, the narrative is interspersed with quotes enabling the reader to understand how Stuart-Smith’s mind works … This book works on one level as a page-turning stroll through beautifully landscaped gardens but, on another, makes for quite a challenging read. Even the smallest of plots has a history, a place in the landscape, and is perhaps more deserving of considered design' - World of Interiors 'An awe-inspiring testimony to the possibilities of complex planting, subtle landscaping and inventive thematic design' - Inigo 'A treat for garden lovers and professionals alike … an expert overview' - House & Garden 'Gardening books tend to stand or fall by their photographs and this one earns its hefty price tag with outstandingly good images; they are so beautiful that I found myself sighing with pleasure as I leafed through them' - Daily Mail 'Thames & Hudson deserve the greatest praise for their inspired choice of author, Tim Richardson, to document Tom Stuart-Smith’s work for when you bring great people together the results can be, as with this book, particularly special' - Paddy Toibin, 'An Irish Gardener' blog 'The triangulation between place, people and ideas that Tom Stuart-Smith aims for in his gardens has been gloriously echoed in Tim Richardson's book … This book and the gardens it describes are grand and opulent but fundamentally tender and thoughtful …[an] illuminating oeuvre' - Gardens Illustrated 'A collaborative and conversational retrospective of the work – and inner workings – of one of the UK’s most influential and imaginative designers … illuminating' - Gardens Illustrated 'The gardening book of the year … The pictures are lovely, obviously, and the detailed analysis absorbing, but the best thing about the book are the essays by Stuart-Smith himself, who allies a lyrical imagination and lovely prose with practical intelligence … Wonderful' - Evening Standard 'Packed with detail … fascinating' - Garden Answers 'An impressive read… you can pore over the photos and glean practical gems from the text. There are wondrous things here - not least Stuart-Smith’s approach to sustainable gardening - that can be emulated in the smallest plot' - The Times, Gardening Books of the Year 2021
