Times Literary Supplement - Alexander Urquhart
Sir Roy writes with candour in a style that is intimate and accessible, and his ideas, though not fashionable at this time of enthusiasm for natural planting with native species, are imbued with energy and an erudition that make Garden Party a welcome addition to gardening literature.
