Gertrude Jekyll (1843 1932) was one of the most influential garden designers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Having been collecting and breeding plants, including Mediterranean natives, since the 1860s, she began writing for William Robinson's magazine, The Garden, in 1881, and together they are regarded as transforming English horticultural method and design: Jekyll herself received over 400 design commissions in Britain, and her few surviving gardens are treasured today. Skilled as a painter and in many forms of handicrafts, she found her metier in the combination of her artistic skills with considerable botanical knowledge.
In this, the first of fourteen books, published in 1899, she stresses the importance of being inspired by nature, and sums up her philosophy Like Robinson's, her designs were informal and more natural in style than earlier Victorian fashions.
