Críticas:

"The language of botany has never been so piquant as in Norris's lively guide to plants worth including in a modern garden. A unique book ideal for younger gardeners who don't have a lot else focused on their generation. The title will be inspirational to gardeners of all ages." --Library Journal "A love letter to plants. . . . oozes enthusiasm." --The English Garden "The book is both stylish and a well-organized manifesto full of wisdom. . . . brims with compelling plant ideas and recommendations along with beautiful photos." --Garden Rant "Plants with Style is Kelly Norris's paean to ecology-conscious, biodiversity-rich gardening with panache. . . . Norris is an engaging and erudite author, and Plants With Style is a richly inspiring addition to the gardener's bookshelf." --The American Gardener "This is a book to buy for the text. . . . [Norris comments on] the plants' flair, sassiness, kick-ass-garden qualities, and other inside information in his astute personal, and conversational style." --Country Gardens "Start the new year with no-fuss plants to refresh your garden this growing season. Along with inspirational photos and guidance in each chapter, plantsman and author Kelly Norris will explain how to incorporate your personal style into your own garden." --Garden Gate "Norris guides us away from boring plants and directly to vibrant, jaw-dropping, stylish plants. It's 2016, bring your garden into the 21st century!" --Garden Design "Kelly is a fresh-faced young man with an unparalleled depth of plant knowledge who exudes a contagious love of the green industry." --Green Profit Magazine "What makes the book so engaging is the author's sense of humor as he explains what he loves and despises, too. It's done in such a way that you'll smile all the way through while learning precious information about varieties that, without Norris, would remain a mystery." --Pittsburgh Tribune-Review "Shares advice on design and tips on growing, but the best part is Norris' unbridled enthusiasm." --The Columbus Dispatch
