Thomas, I'm looking forward to hearing you speak at the Garden Club Federation meeting in Freeport (only 45 minutes from my home). It looks as though you're taking advantage of the opportunity to spend some time in Maine at a wonderful time of the year for Maine gardens. -Jean

What Readers are Saying

"(Thomas' lecture at NYBG) was a turning point for the next generation of garden designers that take into consideration both the art and ecology of great garden making. Thomas has a new contemporary voice."

"How about stopping by Mr. Rainer’s influential garden blog, Grounded Design, where he has taken to speaking apostasy against the dogma of green landscaping." The New York Times

"Thomas, perhaps the first theoretical horticulturalist of the social media generation, has a true blogger’s ease with the first person voice."

"If I only had time to read one blog, this would be a serious contender."

"So often I read your posts twice, even three times because they're THAT good."

"I came across your blog recently and have read almost every post top to bottom in a frothing frenzy."

"I love gardening and I love good writing and this blog is the best fusion of the two I've seen on the web! Wow!"

"This is one of the best blogs I've ever read. You are a man after my own heart. I wish I had written this."

"The most exciting blog discovery in a long time." Garden Rant

"As a general rule, I don't tell people what to do, or what websites to visit, but this is a 'must read' blog. I've been in this field over 40 years . . . I rarely read anything about gardens, gardening, or design that I don't know. When I see there's a new post on Thomas Rainer's blog, I get excited . . . I've yet to be disappointed."

"Every time I read a post, I want to shout 'YES! YES! You are so right!!'"

"Your blog is the one I look most forward to: always engaging, always thought provoking."

"these words are superb . . . anointed . . . "

"I enjoyed it so much we read all the way back to the first posting, and then subscribed."

"The good earth viewed by a visionary pair of eyes. "

"Thomas doesn't write every day or even every week -- he is, after all, a busy landscape architect -- but you won't want to miss any of his posts. It's one of the most relevant and fascinating and informative blogs on the subject of landscape design and/or architecture that's out there. You will not be disappointed." Garden Design Online

"I love your blog--it is like reading an excellent garden book! Only better, if that is possible."

"An exciting convergence of landscape design and art, narrated by a visionary gardener-poet. By far, this is my favorite gardening blog."

"This is no mere garden blog. With each posting, he takes the reader on a journey from which few would want to return."

"The posts are exceptionally well written, and I almost always come away from them heady with new ideas and new ways of seeing."

"I just LOVE Thomas Rainer’s blog, Grounded Design. It’s not that he just writes great things about gardening. It is HOW he writes that really has me hooked. There is nothing boring or superficial about this blog. Rainer digs deep into the human aspects of gardening." Metro DC Lawn & Garden

"These really are the best articles we've read in ages."
