It is... a new thing that combines a do-it-yourself design ethos with deep horticultural knowledge." --<i><b>Landscape Architecture Magazine</b></i> <p/> "We already have more than enough books that tell us how to make gardens for the complacent, expensive outdoor garden rooms for thoughtless leisure, gardens to establish social status. What is different about the garden makers in this book is their focused intention and their thoughtfulness... All [of Reid's] company of gardeners <i>think</i> about their gardens as an intrinsic part of their lives. [<i>The Planthunter</i> is] a book with a message for our troubled times." --<b><i>Federal Twist</i></b> <p/> "A creative collaboration... intensely honest." --<b><i>The American Gardener</i></b> <p/><i>"S</i>o good. You owe it to yourself to get this book." --<b><i>The Danger Garden</i></b> <p/> "From street gardens in Los Angeles to grand country estates in Australia, the soulful photos and considered essays are sure to inspire and inform." --<b><i>California Home Design</i></b> <p/> "A book for any gardener who finds the person behind a garden as fascinating as the plants within it...a continually interesting read." <b>--<i>Horticulture</i></b> <p/> "This book is for the plant curious, the plant lover, the plant killer, and everyone in between. Soulful stories and photographs will inspire contemplation and curiosity." <b><i>--Michigan Gardener</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Georgina Reid is a highly respected Australian garden writer and commentator.
