“As outlined in Christopher Holliday’s new book, gardening with sharp plants provides an alternative to more typical (and higher-maintenance) planting schemes. The results can be both ecologically friendly and contemporary in design, lending drama and year-round interest.” —Great Ideas for Outdoor Living
“Yikes! This book makes a point about prickles.” —Seattle Post-Intelligencer
“The book is replete with full-color photos of the plants mentioned and masses of plants in the sharp gardening style.” —Landscape Architecture
“Whether you’re a fan of pointy, spiky plants or want a garden that neighborhood kids won’t touch, here’s your guide. . . . Lends new meaning to the phrase.” —Harrisburg Patriot-News
“From xeriscapes to maritime gardens and everywhere in between, anyone looking for fresh ideas to add a little excitement to their garden will enjoy this book.” —Greenfeeder
“Who better to write a book about spiky plants than the holder of the U.K.’s national collection of phormiums, those pointy-leafed dazzlers from New Zealand? . . . Christopher Holliday persuasively presents the case for swords, straps and spikes—plants that add crisp lines and sculptural effect, particularly in contemporary gardens. . . . Point made!” —Gardening Life
