Gertrude Jekyll
Initially an artist and craftswoman, Gertrude Jekyll took up gardening when her eyesight became too weak to continue painting. She worked with William Robinson, together they promoted naturalistic planting, introduced the herbaceous border and cottage-garden planting. Later she worked with the architect Edward Lutyens to produce houses where the garden was an integral part of the house’s design and her planting schemes were painterly, beautiful and harmonious.
Miss Ellen Willmott
Miss Ellen Willmott was the first woman to be awarded the RHS Medal; she also helped to bring Wisley gardens, the RHS’s first garden, into being. She inherited a fortune and she spent it on plants and gardens. Miss Willmott funded plant collecting expeditions, bred numerous daffodils and other species and wrote the definitive book of her day on Roses in two volumes. She was an early photographer - of gardens. More than two hundred plants and varieties are named after her or after her garden at Warley Place, Essex.
Vita Sackville-West
The most famous garden created by Vita Sackville-West was her second, at Sissinghurst, now run by the National Trust. She followed many of the principles of Gertrude Jekyll - coloured by the influence of her travels with her diplomat husband. His skill in designing the hard landscapes was key. The garden is divided into intimate ‘rooms’ the most famous of which, the White Garden, is full of the perfume of Nicotiana and jasmine at dusk. The garden is influential as the smaller scale of the ‘rooms’ is adaptable into many settings, & its romance is infectious.
