'My favourite gardening book of the year' -- Arthur Parkinson "Full of invaluable advice...The colour pictures are excellent and I have already taken pages of notes, forcing me to revisit my own garden's planting.Books by long-term owners of good private gardens raise our sights. They are a genre in which English gardeners excel. Anyone with a terrace, big pots or a new or old garden, especially in the country, will find new guidance in Gardening with Colour at Coton Manor." -- Robin Lane-Fox * Financial Times * "The supporting photographs by Andrew Lawson are plentiful, as they should be, and very true to the garden, but it is the planting information that makes this a book worth buying for anyone wanting help with their own garden." -- Tiffany Daneff * Country Life * "[ The book] is like having an experienced friend on hand to show you exactly which plants to grow, and how and where to use them." * English Garden * "[ the author] charts how her passion for gardening developed, and shares her learnings and mistakes over the past 30 years." * Gardens Illustrated * "Susie writes with enthusiasm in a flowing and relaxed style, and has taken glorious photographs throughout the year. Above all, what comes across is her delight in the garden, the enjoyment of working with plants, and things that make her smile." -- Susie White * Garden Design Journal * "A detailed conducted tour of the 10-acre garden, with all the wisdom modestly imparted by an enthusiastic, sympathetic and phenomenally observant garden owner. Hats off to Pimpernel Press, one of the few publishers that still take gardening seriously, for the quality of the design and colour reproduction. Altogether, this book is a gem, and one I suspect I shall plunder for ideas until it falls apart." -- Ursula Buchan * The Field *
