About this ebook
In Wood and Garden, Gertude Jekyll’s first book, she writes, “For the love of gardening is a seed that once sown never dies, but always grows and grows to an enduring and ever-increasing source of happiness.” Written as a gardening calendar, this seminal work reveals her personal approach to planting a garden, which revolutionized Edwardian horticultural thinking.
