The Gardener's Essential Gertrude Jekyll [B0878]

2000 PB reprint of the 1964 original, in excellent condition. This wonderful book contains a selection of the best and most important passages from Gertrude Jekyll's many classic books on gardening, including topics such as design and ornament, color and scent, and flowers in the house. Gertrude Jekyll (1843-1932) is now generally regarded as the seminal figure in the twentieth-century revitalization of classic garden design and sensible plantsmanship.

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Beautifully written and inspiring. A charming introduction to Gertrude Jekyll's plant-based wisdom."; "The Garden Queen, without a doubt, a wealth of information."; "This is not your usual gardening book filled with photographs and diagrams, instead you get to read the thoughts and ideas of one of the greatest gardeners of her era."
