'Wulf's portrait of the "brothers" ... is rounded, generous and exhaustively researched. She is particularly good at showing the links between botany and the wider political life of 18th-century England ... she is very adept at telling a good story, and in the history and origins of gardening she has found the perfect vehicle. The Brother Gardeners is an excellent, hugely entertaining and instructive tale, and Wulf tells it well.', Mark Cocker, The Guardian, 10 May 2008
