Art of the Garden

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

3/3. Gertrude Jekyll. No-nonsense spinster Jekyll pioneered a magical marriage of the formal and natural, a philosophy that shapes many gardens today, as Diarmuid Gavin reveals in this partly dramatised documentary. On finding she was losing her sight in the 1890s, Jekyll turned from the Arts and Crafts movement to gardening. With young architect Edwin Lutyens , she became the toast of a society that wanted a cutting-edge look to home and garden. Miriam Margolyes plays Gertrude Jekyll with Jean Marsh as her housekeeper. Director David Vincent : Executive producer Basil Comely (AD)
