EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative close-up image captures the tranquil beauty and enduring legacy of The Tomb of Gertrude Jekyll, designed by the renowned British architect Edwin Lutyens in the churchyard of St John the Baptist Church at Busbridge near Godalming, Surrey. Dated 2016, the photograph showcases the intricate details of Jekyll's final resting place, where her garden fork, bearing her initials, rests against the headstone. Gertrude Jekyll (1843-1932) was a celebrated horticulturist, designer, artist, and writer, whose influence on the gardening world spanned the Victorian and late Victorian eras. Her innovative garden designs, which emphasized the importance of natural plantings and harmonious color schemes, continue to inspire gardeners and landscape architects to this day. Lutyens, a close friend and collaborator of Jekyll, designed this tomb as a fitting tribute to her groundbreaking work and enduring impact on the world of horticulture. The image invites us to reflect on the life and achievements of this remarkable woman, whose influence can still be felt in the gardens and landscapes that bear her name.
