Gertrude jekyl
 

Does anyone know if her planting lists are available? I am interested in
finding out which clematis varieties she used and specifically which she may
have used at Hestercombe

That is the only Clematis in the listings we have, but there other
flowers/shrubs if you are looking for more. Come back to us if we can help.

I can't recall where I saw copies of her named planting plans for
herbaceous borders, but that suggests she kept full records. The RHS
members' library probably archives them.

Thanks I will try them. been a member for years and never asked them
anything before :~)

Do you mean to tell me Barrowcloth that you do not have a First Edition of
this book as we do?

Thought you were a "Gardener" :-((

Next question please.

I'm in the same boat as Janet, istr seeing something somewhere but
can't for the life of me think where. I worked for a few years on one
of the later Lutyens/Jeckyll collaborations - we had a few fragmentary
plans of the house but nothing for the garden.

Hi - There is a good book by Richard Bisgrove called "The Gardens of
Gertrude Jekyll" which contains many copies of her garden plans for
particular gardens. Hestercombe planting plans are mentioned and sometimes
illustrated throughout the book, therefore you would need to spend sometime
researching the plans. The index mentions Clematis flammula:
C.heracleifolia var.davidiana: C. x jackmanii, C.montana, C. recta and
C.vitalba as amongst the clematis varieties used by Jekyll generally but not
specifically at Hestercombe.

AFAIK Gertrude Jekyll's working copies of her garden plans were acquired by
the American, Beatrix Farrand who then bequeathed them to the School of
Environmental Design at the University of California, Berkeley. I believe
that it is possible to get copies of the plans from them.

Hope this helps.
