Almost eighty years after her death, Gertrude Jekyll (1843-1932) is
still one of the most influential of all English garden designers.
Best known for the superb use of colour schemes in her hallmark
flower borders, she combined an early training in art with
self-taught horticultural skills. Early influences included William
Morris, John Ruskin and William Robinson, but it is her partnership
with the architect Edwin Lutyens that produced some of the most
distinctive of Edwardian houses and gardens. From her house (and
nursery) at Munstead Wood, Surrey, Jekyll designed over 400 gardens
across Britain and Europe, and some in America where her archive of
designs and drawings is now held. This book explores her life,
influences on her early work in art and crafts, the transfer to
Munstead Wood and working relationship with Edwin Lutyens, as well
as her own writings and achievements.
