Becoming Elizabeth Lawrence: Discovered Letters of a Southern Gardener was mentioned in the Publishers Weekly gardening edition: "At John F. Blair, publishing Becoming Elizabeth Lawrence was a perfect fit for the times. 'The slow-food movement, buy-local campaigns, and the growing concern for supporting independent businesses,' says sales director Angela Harwood, 'all add to people's desire to connect with the old way of doing things. They're looking for early role models, and who better than Lawrence [1904-1984], who was named by Horticulture magazine one of the 25 greatest gardeners in the world.'"
“Opening this collection is like unsealing a hundred envelopes in which a close woman friend confides her changing inner life. Elizabeth Lawrence flowers here from Southern girl to famous gardener. So does the friendship that helped her grow and flourish. We seem to be seated with her friend Ann, reading over her shoulder, smiling.”
-Doris Betts, author of The Sharp Teeth of Love
