'Richard Benfield "tells a good story." And he tells a good story about a great subject: plants, gardens, and why people visit them ... Garden Tourism is a treasure trove of information, a valuable contribution.' – Susan Lacerte, Executive Director, Queens Botanical Garden, Adjunct Faculty, Farmingdale State College "Though written with undergraduates in mind, the book holds appeal for broader audiences, including urban and community planners, legislators, and conservationists. Botanical gardens face a range of challenges, and this work will be an especially useful resource to help readers understand the issues. Summing Up: Recommended. All undergraduate students, general readers, and professionals/practitioners." – CHOICE In summary: a good and comprehensive book that all students and professionals should read. – Henri Carvallo, Historic Gardens Review "Overall, the book succeeds very well in providing a comprehensive introduction to garden tourism. It is well-written and organised and uses examples drawn from around the world to enhance understanding." – Annals of Leisure Research
