From Munstead Wood, Godalming, Gertrude Jekyll (1843-1932) revolutionised the art, theory and practice of gardening and pioneered many of the principles which underpin gardening today.
She democratised gardening, sharing ideas, advice and inspiration through the popular media of the day reaching every level of society, and giving birth to a national obsession – there are over 28 million gardeners in the UK today.
No other garden designer has had such an impact on our landscape.
