Synopsis
This anthology, now available in a completely revised edition, encompasses a rich legacy of gardening wisdom left by Gertrude Jekyll (1843-1932), one of the great gardeners of the century and certainly one of the most influential. She published ten inspiring gardening books between 1899 and 1937. It is from these that the excerpts in this anthology have been selected. Trained at art school, Gertrude developed strongly held views on design, form and the use of colour in the garden. These views are reflected throughout the book and take us through the year, season by season. Her observations will entertain those who delight in reading about the heart and soul of gardening as well as educate those with a more practical style. Gertrude Jekyll's desire was to stimulate the reader to action through her straightforward, no nonsense, approach which kept her and her readers from becoming a slave to the garden or its plants.

    Overall I’m pleased with the purchase of the glasses. They were as described and arrived in a timely manner. Buyer beware: the packaging was VERY poor. The box was barely held together with scotch tape and old tape from a previous shipment. Glasses were bubble wrapped, but the rims of 2 glasses weren’t even covered. There was zero filler in the box to prevent movement. Paying almost $18 in shipping, you’d expect a little more care in packaging. I was lucky nothing was broken.
