Many of Gertrude Jekyll’s writings were said to be a “great contribution to English gardening”, by arguably “the greatest artist in horticulture and garden-planting”; to some extent because of her ideas that garden design should take inspiration from paintings by capturing the colours and features of different flowers and plants. Colour schemes for the flower garden for the ambitious gardener.
