A selection of passages from Gertrude Jekyll's books on gardening, incorporating topics which include design and ornament, colour and scent, and flowers in the house. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book has become my bedtime reading material. It offers an excellent summary of Jekyll's views on color, plant selection, the layout of beds and the philosophy of the garden. While I would have liked detailed drawings or layouts of the various gardens discussed, her written descriptions feed the imagination. I've already laid out a new garden border as a result of the insights gained, and I am inspired to read other works by Jekyll and others
