National Trust to restore Gertrude Jekyll’s ‘horticultural gem’ at Lutyens-designed home in Surrey before public opening
A garden created by the pioneering horticulturist Gertrude Jekyll that was the prototype of the modern English garden has been saved for the nation by the National Trust.
Munstead Wood near Godalming, Surrey, Jekyll’s home and garden until her death in 1932, was acquired by the trust through a private sale with support from the government “in order to secure it for public enjoyment and benefit”, the NT said.
