If I recall right, she was the first to do the "white garden" and was very fond of drifts. Even with this knowledge, though, the phrase "it's not Gertrude Jekyll anymore" hardly seems evocative. It's... a more new-fangled sort of gardener? A non-gardening type? I don't know, maybe it just doesn't make sense without its context.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10763085299053200761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992629493643960858.post-23274369374674906362010-09-22T16:38:21.106-05:002010-09-22T16:38:21.106-05:00I too will have to admit my ignorance of Gertrude ...I too will have to admit my ignorance of Gertrude Jekyll until this time.
