Gardening CompanionWordsworth Editions, 2006 - 272 páginas Gertrude Jekyll grew up wanting to be a painter. But, she turned to gardening instead, where her love of plants, allied to her eye for colour and for the architectural 'structure' of a garden, produced a revolution in 20th-century garden design. This is a posthumous collection of her notes and articles written over a period of nearly forty years. |
