Gertrude Jekyll - 'My Adventure in Restoring her Inspiring Garden Art'
When Rosamund Wallinger moved into a derelict Manor at Upton Grey in Hampshire, she uncovered a Jekyll garden and set about restoring it. Luckily for her, Hampshire Gardens Trust had been founded that year by Gilly Drummond. They were the essential force in informing her that the 5 acre garden had been designed by Gertrude Jeykll in 1908 and introduced her to wise advisors in that field. They gave her Penelope Hobhouse for 10 hours of inspiration on how to get copies of Miss Jekyll’s plans and where to find the plants on her plans. Join the Hampshire Gardens Trust to see how this project has evolved.
