Review Quote

"Ms. Easton has an accessible, down-to-earth style in the book...one is led to believe that even the most rank beginner should just do it: go ahead and decide where the path should go, imagine where it will lead, and what might lie, like a surprise, or a sanctuary, at the end." The New York Times, June 21 , 2007

"A Pattern Garden reveals the hidden relationships between scale and structure that define truly great gardens...Easton will open your eyes to a new way of seeing the design opportunities inherent in any garden site." Scot Medbury, CEO Brooklyn Botanic Garden

"Easton offers ...a horticultural Rosetta Stone—a guide for both timid and more confident homeowners to map their outdoor life and create their dream space." Thomas Hobbs, author of The Jewel Box Garden
