“Southern Gardens, Southern Gardening squeezes the gardening experience into 12 monthly chapters. It’s good information, written at an easy pace, like Southern prose should be.”—Southern Living

“William Lanier Hunt’s book is the work of a learned and well-traveled garden enthusiast . . . the work of a writer whose gardening horizons are very wide, and whose sense of history and locale is strong.”—Harriet H. Jansma, Garden Design

“Every page of Southern Gardens, Southern Gardening speaks with a civilized and cosmopolitan accent; it is clearly one of the best books on horticulture published in recent years.”—Allen Lacy, Horticulture

“This attractive collection of miniature essays about individual kinds of plants, arranged according to their month of bloom or prominence in the landscape, deserves attention on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line. Although Northern gardeners may envy Mr. Hunt his easy talk of gardenias and jasmines and tender species of camellia, he writes vividly out of a lifetime of experience with plants, many of which are not restricted to the South.”—Wall Street Journal

“A leading authority on Southern gardens, William Lanier Hunt is a consultant to botanical gardens and has been involved in the restoration of historical gardens. This collection is an informative guide to the finer points of gardening.
“In entries arranged according to months of the year, Hunt discusses such subjects as the finding and growing of native plants, flowers, and trees. His style is informal, light, and instructive. He respects the reader’s intelligence and assumes the reader shares his love for green things. He refers to what gardeners of the past have done, and the scope of his interests is wide . . .”—Savannah News-Press
