Praise for Rosemary Verey: The Life & Lessons of a Legendary
Gardener
“The definitive book on the great gardener and designer.
Meticulously researched and invigorated by the author’s own
personal recollections, Barbara Paul Robinson has captured the
essence of Rosemary Verey’s genius for creating gardens and also
her great capacity for friendship. Rosemary’s influence on
twentieth-century garden style remains her legacy to designers all
over the world.”—Penelope Hobhouse
“Truly great gardeners deserve a fine garden writer as a
biographer. . . . Rosemary Verey, the former doyenne of
twentieth-century English garden design, has found the ideal one in
Barbara Paul Robinson. . . . Robinson is able to provide in-depth
insight into her subject’s character and personality as well as her
genius for blending highly original landscape composition with
great horticultural craft.”—Elizabeth Barlow Rogers
