“It seems to us to be a very good idea to write this book, because we believe that it is necessary that the work that you and Robert did should be known. This should become history, as we think that history is made up of little histories like this one.”
From a letter dated 5.10.2003 (translated)
Patrick Bowe, B ARCH, MRIAL, architect and garden designer
“I am writing to thank you very much for receiving the group of Fellows of the Royal Horticultural Society in your garden in March. It was undoubtedly the highlight of our tour and one of the highlights of my garden visiting in Europe over many years.”
From a letter of 24.05.1987

“Anyone who had the great pleasure of visiting La Saleta will have happy memories of the great friendship shown to them by Robert and Margaret. Not only was his friendly and helpful nature extended to visitors but to the local community in which they played a full part in organising local events.”
