	Gertrude Jekyll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gertrude Jekyll (1843–1932) was an influential British garden designer, writer, and artist who created over 400 gardens in the UK, Europe and the USA.
		Jekyll was one of the first of her profession to take into account the color, texture, and experience of gardens as the prominent authorities in her designs, and she was a life-long fan of plants of all genres.
		Jekyll did not want to limit her influence of teaching to just the practice of gardening, but to take it a step further to the quiet study of gardening and the plants themselves.
