Monty Don is my favourite TV garden presenter but watching his BBC2 series on “””Paradise Gardens”””” has been a mixed pleasure. He has the talents to be a good garden historian. But he does not have the time. So the BBC should involve more experts.

| The mix of good and bad reviews for this book surprised me. But maybe it compares with tourists' reactions to India, Pakistan, Afghanistan etc. If you love this part of the world, as I do, you are much more likely to enjoy Shantaram. It is a remarkab ...more | |

“The tragedy of feminine design is that it receives so little official support. Most of the world's design schools, having been organized by men, encourage a masculine approach, even when they are run by women. Yet many designers who are male in the biological sense have a feminine approach to design.”
― Tom Turner, City as Landscape

“In town and in country there must be landscapes where we can walk in safety, pick fruit, cycle, work, sleep, swim, listen to the birds, bask in the sun, run through the trees and laze beside cool waters.”
― Tom Turner, Landscape Planning and Environmental Design

“Single-purposism, as we have seen, tends to create projects that harm the environment. Instead, we should design projects with as favourable an environmental impact as possible. This is the objective of environmental impact design.”

“Physically, gardens must have boundaries. Mentally, they can reach to the limits of the known universe. The ideas that bestow such vast extent upon gardens derive from sun, earth, art, water, history, civilization, family, anything.”

“Garden design theory explains, or should explain, the 'What, Where, Why and How' of making gardens.”

“Many of the world's best-designed cities have been inspired by garden concepts.”
