Synopsis

Gertrude Jekyll at Munstead Wood

About this title

Review:

"[A] delicious volume by two leading experts ... this book explains the processes and the very human side of a garden designer whose legacy endures. --Country Life

This book ... explores the many activities and enterprise in which she [Jekyll] was engaged and so presents us with a fuller picture of this remarkable woman - artist, craftswoman, designer, photographer and author. It is an excellent book, interesting, informative and enjoyable to read." IGPS Blog

"A poetic portrayal that strips back the formidability of Gertrude Jekyll, exposing her warm, yet vulnerable personality." Gardens Illustrated

"Absorbing and readable...a genuine classic." The Lady

"Dextrously explores her many interests and varied talents to give an intriguing insight into the world of this indomitable gardener, artist and craftswoman." --House and Garden
