"Always Green is a story that is filled with larger than life characters that the reader will truly be able to connect to and care about. There is truly a small part of Mibby in all of us and as a result this book will touch many....
Ms. Hill is a very talented writer. She creates a world that the reader is not only comfortable in, but well entertained at that. I look forward to reading this talented author again in the future, and suggest that if you're a sucker for a emotional roller-coaster of a ride [then] this author is for you."

"Fans of Inspirational Women’s Fiction have another great book to devour with Patti Hill’s ALWAYS GREEN. Ms. Hill again takes us for a walk with Mibby Garrett and her struggles to overcome the loss of her husband. This is a continuation of LIKE A WATERED GARDEN, and I do feel you’d be better served by reading that book first.... There is a touch more romance in ALWAYS GREEN that I found I enjoyed. The struggles Mibby faces are realistic and her reactions are true to her character. The story is well written and has secondary characters you can’t help but love. I recommend Patti Hill’s latest addition in the Garden Gates series to anyone who enjoys Women’s Fiction with Inspirational touches."

"Patti Hill is an amazing artist, painting word pictures with her watercolor pen as she writes her fabulous novels. Ms. Hill combines unique imagery with gardening terminology and real-to-life characters to paint amazingly beautiful pictures in the minds of her readers. ALWAYS GREEN is the sequel to LIKE A WATERED GARDEN, and is a novel sure to have gardening enthusiasts and mothers alike yearning for more of this talented new author's work. I have truly enjoyed reading the two novels in this series, and hope for more with bated breath and crossed fingers."

"Patti Hill has proven she is a master of the written word. Always Green flows effortlessly through Mibby's tumultuous summer, weaving characters, plot, and description into a vibrantly written canvas. Each chapter opens with a delightful diary notation to draw us into Mibby's world of all things garden....
Although I hadn't read Like A Watered Garden, the first book in the Garden Gates series, I could easily follow the storyline in this sequel. Always Green is a wonderful story that easily stands on its own."

"Patti Hill has outdone herself with this latest work - words like charming, touching, encouraging, affirming, quaint, funny, and poignant come to mind. Always Green, while it may be a sequel, is an incredibly well written story. She takes several characters and shows their human sides. She doesn’t shrink from the painful side of being human but illustrates how pain can be turned into something positive and beautiful. She reminds us through her characters that we aren’t always aware of what another human being is walking or working through in their own life and showing a bit of love always works towards the sunnier side of human nature. While Always Green is a continuation of the first in the series, this new journey will truly stand alone to anyone who would pick it up. The imagery she creates with her use of the diary notations and the descriptive scenes laid out through the characters and places make it easy for the reader to truly become a part of the 'garden."
