Description |
This anthology encompasses a legacy of gardening lore left by Gertrude
Jekyll, (1843-1932) one of the great gardeners of the century. Her ten
gardening books were published between 1899 and 1937 and it is from these
that the excerpts in this anthology have been selected. Trained at art
school, Gertrude Jekyll developed strongly held views on design, form and
the use of colour in the garden, and it is these views which are reflected
in this selection which takes us through the year, season by season. |
