Robinson, it is widely claimed, was 'responsible for sweeping away . carpet-bedding' (Allan, 138) and promoting a more relaxed style using hardy plants. He was a belligerent and capricious character with strongly held, sometimes (especially in later life) contradictory, views, who was not afraid to criticize his contemporaries, especially landscape architects. See ODNB. Title continues: A monthly review for lovers of garden, woodland, tree or flower; new and rare plants, trees, shrubs, and fruits; the garden beautiful, home woods, and home landscape.
