EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of Munstead Wood, the idyllic Surrey retreat of the influential British horticulturist, garden designer, artist, and writer, Gertrude Jekyll (1843-1932). The photo features two essential gardening tools - Gertrude Jekyll's personal garden fork and lawn shears - artfully placed on an old mill grindstone. The scene unfolds at Munstead Wood, a Grade I listed house designed by Edwin Lutyens, which was completed in 1896. The garden at Munstead Wood, created by Jekyll 13 years prior to the house's construction, is a testament to her visionary design. The main areas of interest include The Nut Walk, the Primrose Garden, the Spring Garden, the Azaleas and Rhododendrons in the woodland, the Three Corner Garden, and the Main Border. The discovery of Gertrude Jekyll's garden fork and lawn shears in a tool shed at Munstead Wood adds a personal touch to this image. The tools, worn from years of use, bear the marks of a dedicated gardener who shaped the landscape around her. This photograph, taken in 2016, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the art of gardening was a labor of love. The image is a reminder of Gertrude Jekyll's enduring legacy, her influence on gardening and design, and her unwavering dedication to the beauty of flowers and the natural world.
