Garden designer
Gertrude Jekyll
Designed about four hundred gardens and wrote a thousand articles, working by colour like the painter she had trained to be until her eyesight failed.
Gertrude Jekyll was a British horticulturist, garden designer, craftswoman, photographer, writer and artist. She created over 400 gardens in the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States, and wrote over 1000 articles for magazines such as Country Life and William Robinson's The Garden. Jekyll has been described as "a premier influence in garden design" by British and American gardening enthusiasts.
