Inspiring - By: PTA, 30 Mar 2008 
For a couple of years I've toyed with the idea of making a vegetable garden. Problem is I don't really like that much "proper" vegetable gardens because if they are not perfect they are not pleasant to the eye. Last year I gave it a try, planting some tomatoes & caulifowers here & therein my flowerbeds & decided to give it a try BUT do it my way. This book showed me that there is a way to planting whatever you want to & don't have to hide it at the bottom of your garden (incidentally, my garden has no bottom, neither is big enough). Now I am full of ideas and, most important, it is not going to be a case of trial & error like last year.
It doesn't explain everything though. There is no such thing as "the final book" about anything. It is a book about making beautiful vegetable gardens. Enough for me.
Creative Vegetable Gardening review. - By: C. Mitchell, 23 Mar 2006 
This is a lovely book to fill you with enthusiasm for growing vegetables. It shows many different ways of incorporating them into the garden as a whole. I liked it & would recommend it.
Great book - By: , 07 Feb 2006 
If you're a creative person, & have a veg garden, then this book is for you.
It offers great inspiration on making the vegetable garden look good, getting away from the traditional straight lines, what to put with whatin terms of textures & colours among other aspects, & how to create dramatic effectsin the potager.
Lovely book.
A book to refer to time and again - By: , 26 Apr 2002 
This is a sumptuous book with an infectous enthusiasm for all things edible & decorative. It has become a firm favourite of mine. It offers loads of ideas of combinations, both formal & informal, which will workin gardens small & large, & the author conveys confidencein her readers' creative abilities which makes you yearn to have a go. She encourages experimentation & letting plants run to flower & seed, with disdain for the rigidly controlled potager. There is a detailed section at the back including 'planning for succession' for year round produce & beauty, & a 'directory' for detailed information on plant requirements & habits. The paper is fine quality & the wealth of pictures are gorgeous. A really lovely book.
