- Book Synopsis
- 'Absorbing and readable ... a genuine classic.' The Lady 'A must for understanding the woman, her work and her time.' American Gardener '[A] delicious volume by two leading experts ... explains the processes and the very human side of a garden designer whose legacy endures.' Country Life Gertrude Jekyll, one of the most influential garden designers of the early twentieth century has had a lasting impact on modern gardening. In this classic work, Judith Tankard and Martin Wood explore Jekyll's life and work at Munstead Wood, the Arts and Crafts style house in Surrey, designed for her by Edwin Lutyens, where she lived and gardened from 1897 until her death in 1932. Featuring Jekyll's own photographs, scrapbooks and notebooks, and the recollections of contemporaries from Edith Wharton and Vita Sackville-West to William Robinson and Henry Francis Du Pont, the authors' carefully researched volume, beautifully illustrated throughout, provides an unparalleled portrait of the doyenne of garden design through the study of her greatest inspiration.
