In 1903, after a fire completely destroyed her family home in Norfolk, UK, the 27- year-old Constance helped her mother redesign their house and recreate the garden. From Shalimar Bagh, Lahore, to Nishat Bagh, Srinagar, to La Granja near Madrid, Constance earned her reputation studying Mughal and Moorish gardens as well as those in Great Britain, France, Italy and northern Europe.Between 1910 and 1955 she wrote about them, painted and photographed them and lectured on them. It was an experience from which she never looked back, going on to become an internationally recognised garden expert and connoisseur.A rich woman herself, she was attracted to the most spectacular and extravagant gardens in the world.
She produced two successful illustrated books, and numerous articles for magazines, including Country Life, Vogue, The Burlington Magazine, Harpers Bazaar, and The Times.
