Which Gardens Did Gertrude Jekyll Design?

There are five Jekyll gardens belonging to the National Trust that are open to the public at Lindisfarne Castle, Northumberland; Barrington Court, Somerset; Hatchlands Park, Surrey; and Devon's Knightshayes and Castle Drogo – as well as hundreds of less well known havens which thrive in Britain's quieter corners.

What plants did Gertrude Jekyll use?

She taught the value of ordinary plants familiar to gardeners today, Hostas, Bergenias, Lavender and old fashioned roses. Gertrude Jekyll concentrated her design work on applying plants in a variety of settings, woodland gardens, water gardens and herbaceous borders always striving to achieve the most natural effect.

Where is Gertrude Jekyll buried?

Miss Jekyll designed about 500 gardens during her lifetime, some of them in the United States of America, Germany and Ireland. She is buried in St John's churchyard at Busbridge.
