"Beautiful."
*The Lady Books of the Year*
"This charming book is aimed squarely at inexperienced gardeners
with a modest budget who want quick results. Like all the best
gardening books this one leaves you itching to get out in your own
patch."
*Daily Mail*
"Anyone faced with a small, empty garden could design and plant
their borders using just this book for guidance."
*The Garden*
"I approve of the way Lucy flags up flower shape and height as
being key to a successful border...there's lots of information
about individual plants...a useful 'flower calendar'...lovely
photos by the brilliant garden photographer Jason Ingram really
bring it all to life, too."

"There's a wealth of inspiration, practical guidance and passion
for an environmentally sympathetic model of gardening that leaps
off the pages and will have you skipping merrily down your own
garden path, well on the way to constructing your own brilliant and
wild garden, in no time at all. "
*Garden Weeds and Words*
"An infectious approach...Urban gardening has long ignored the
nature around it, but even if one garden in every street adopted
Bellamy's plan, our cities would be more buzzing and beautiful.
Brilliant and Wild makes that seem enticingly possible."

"Bellamy makes gardening simple, expressive and joyful. Anyone can
do it cheaply and with little spare time."
