"The garden of an artist is always revealing, though not just in obvious ways." Francesca Greenoak in the Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society, The Garden.

"Her artistic talents, together with a previous training as an architect, have transformed what could have been a dull, if large, suburban garden into a stunning and inspiring place." Elspeth Thompson in The Times Magazine.

"Fittingly, botanical illustrator Rosemary Lindsay is an enthusiastic gardener... an architecturally based plan incorporating a series of paved terraces and lawns, right-angled paths and well organised planting." Sally Griffiths in The English Garden.

"I particularly wanted to see Rosemary Lindsay's garden... because she has done the drawings for this year's Yellow Book [the 1999 NGS annual guide]. I was enchanted by the drawings... I could sense immediately that this was going to be a good garden." Daphne Foulsham in The Guardian.

"...a garden that is intriguing, enclosing, lush and beautifully balanced...Take a notebook. It's that kind of garden." Anna Pavord in The Independent Weekend Review.

Several Japanese publications have carried articles about the garden at 5 Burbage Road, reflecting the great interest in Japan in English gardening. The garden was filmed for a Japanese television programme on London gardens.
