Gertrude Jekyll

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

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

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.

Beth Chatto

Beth Chatto

Beth Chatto took on waste land to make her garden: part was boggy, part a ridge of gravel in Essex, one of the driest parts of England. Her approach was to choose the right plants for each habitat. This resulted in wonderful award-winning gardens which inspired her books; ‘The Dry Garden’ is probably the best known – a book which seems to become more relevant as each summer arrives. She won 10 RHS gold medals at shows, and unlike Gertrude Jekyll and Miss Willmott, her garden survives.

This Hardy Woven Hand Forged Steel Decorative Edging Panel will make a real statement in your garden.

We offer them either at 30cm (1 foot) or 60cm (24 inch) high, and either 80cm or 120cm long.  Since they are bespoke hand forged items there is always a slight variability in the dimensions (mostly on the length). Constructed from 30mm solid steel slats that are 3mm thick, they have decorative hand forged scrolls at both ends of each slat.  The slats are welded to 10mm uprights to be inserted into the ground and each side securely links to the next using the metal hoops provided  to create a rigid join to an adjoining panel. Over time the steel will take on a decorative rust layer. This Hardy Woven Hand Forged Steel Decorative Edging Panel is hand made in the UK; there is a lead time of several weeks on each order.
