Dan Pearson has long been one of the most deep-thinking and intense garden designers around, and his new book, an attempt to capture the fugitive moods of places, brilliantly conveys his attitude to art and nature. The book has a hand-made feel, which is refreshingly against the grain of glossy mainstream garden publishing.

For anyone who wants to cultivate an awareness of what a place is about, this is a terrific way of learning how to take the time to look at and understand the essence of any natural, or man-made, object. This is a book that should appeal to non- gardeners as much as to plant-lovers. It is also a rarely beautiful object.

As much biographical as it is philosophical, this is a swatch-book of the memories, emotions, sounds and images that have guided Pearson's work. 
It's a model for the kind of record that we should all keep; an archive to help make us better gardeners. If you haven't got your own, you couldn't do better than use Dan Pearson's.

This is a very different kind of garden book, a breath of fresh air. It describes a more lateral way of thinking about gardens and landscapes – a great book for anyone who is searching for a new way of approaching garden design.

It's impressionistic approach makes this ethereal book stand out from its workaday how-to counterparts... halfway between the introverted style of a diary and an idiosyncratic garden blog.

Dan Pearson's philosophy of gardening, so sensitively portrayed in this deeply felt, personal book, provides hope and inspiration for all of us who welcome a visionary in these changing times.
