Today, I want to share with you a snippet, from the book ‘Wood and Garden’, written by Getrude Jekyll. Born in 1843, Jekyll is one of the true greats of garden design and she also wrote many books in which she liked to paint a picture with her descriptive writing. In this particular piece, Jekyll expressed her feelings for ‘arranging plants and trees and grassy spaces that they look happy and at home…a garden so treated gives the delightful feeling of repose and refreshment’. Being amongst nature, especially in spring, can give you so much joy and hope as well as exercise and fresh air. A place that can make you feel happy.
