This is a selection from the writings of Gertrude Jekyll, known the world over for her garden designs. Art school trained, she became a craftswoman of great skill and imagination, until increasingly poor eyesight forced her to abandon close work. It was at this stage of her life that she turned her seemingly inexhaustible resources wholeheartedly to the creation of gardens and writing about her gardening experiences. Colour and black & white illustrations. Hardcover in dust jacket, not price clipped. Green cloth with title blocked in gilt to front and spine. The book and jacket are in excellent condition, bright, with no more than a little light wear at extremities. 191 pages. Size 28 x 21.9 x 2 cm.
