Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Modern Library expands its scope into gardening with these two titles. Published in 1981, Perenyi's text offers a collection of essays on topics from annuals to wild flowers and everything in between. The practical information is laced with anecdotes and historical tidbits about gardens and gardeners. Reaching back to 1871, Warner's volume also offers helpful advice along with much humor and even drama as he uses plant life to draw lessons for daily living. A nice break from the straightforward how-to books.

Review

?You do not have to be a good gardener to fall in love with Green Thoughts. It reads with the intrepid assurance of a classic.? ?Mary McCarthy, The New York Review of Books

?Unlike any other gardening book I know, with its Old World charm, its down-to-earth practicality, its whimsy and sophistication.? ?Brooke Astor, The New York Times Book Review

?One of those dangerous reference works that you reach for at a moment of horticultural crisis or indecision only to find yourself an hour later browsing far beyond the page where you began.? ?The New Yorker -- Review
