5.0 out of 5 stars Gertrude Jekyll, not biography but beautifully illus. garden layouts by this great lady, 12 Feb 2009
By FestiveLady "FestiveLady" (Northumberland, England) - See all my reviews
Not a biography of Jekyll, but beautifully illustrated details of this great lady's garden designs, including many that are famous and open to the public e.g. Hestercombe Gardens (front cover picture). You learn some of the ways she thought about planting combinations and can easily imagine the sights, textures and aromas. With the layouts together in one book, you also appreciate how she adapted to various locations and climates. Read it straight through, but it's also ideal for dipping into - to enjoy the pictures, or to cheer you up during winter when there's not much gardening to do. The attractive coloured diagrams of her garden layouts add great visual appeal as well as being practical (if they weren't there you'd think "this book needs layout diagrams"). You can't help but wonder what plants you'd put in for yourself and so this book has the subsidiary effect of providing ideas and inspiration for your own garden.
