The Natural Gardener would be my first choice, not just because Bourne writes so engagingly, but also because of its outstanding photos ... In a subject dominated by the rich and grand, it's refreshing to hear about someone who has achieved wonderful results on a shoestring budget. - Independent on Sunday

It is refreshing to find a guide to gardening that does not foster the idea that a garden must be weed-filled and wild to attract wildlife . . . I would recommend this book to beginners and experienced gardeners alike. They will find inspiration in the author's enthusiasm and knowledge. - Garden

Full of detailed observations and sensible advice, showing how to make a garden that is not just wildlife-friendly but also beautiful. There are some lovely photographs taken by Clive Nichols. - Professional Gardener
