"This placing of shocking colour deep within the installation is indicative of how contemporary garden materials and modes are now being used with discretion" - Snake in the Grass reviewed in Sunday Times 15.6.03

"The planting in Alison Wear and Miranda Melville's 'Snake in the Grass'
was superb, blending colours in the most subtle way..." Garden Design Journal

"There's a sense of theatre about this roof garden in Bayswater. With its elegant deck and dramatic setting, it looks like the set for a Japanese play. Alison Wear, the designer, drew on years of experience in the world of performing arts to transform the totally bare, flat and unprepossessing roof space into a secluded garden." The London Magazine October 2004

"So has the transformation been a success? 'Most definitely', enthuses Mairi. 'We're really happy with the look and love the fact that it's so low maintenance. It's also so peaceful and relaxing that we often forget we're right in the heart of London" 4 Homes Magazine July 2006

"The pathway winds through areas of planting , which gives the space a much more interesting dynamic. Alison planted evergreens and late flowering grasses to maintain colour and character year round." Real Homes June 2007
