Jekyll, Gertrude (sh) and Beriberi, infantile (health)


Jekyll, Gertrude (sh)




born Nov. 29, 1843, London, Eng.
died Dec. 8, 1932, London

British landscape architect.

She pursued painting until 1891, when she turned to Garden design. She helped the landscape designer William Robinson (1838-1935) in his writings about the natural Garden and wrote several successful books on her own, including Wood and Garden (1899) and Home and Garden (1900). Her taste was for the simplicity and orderly disorder of cottage gardens. She later worked closely with Edwin L. Lutyens, developing a modern, informal style of Garden marked by a rhythmic use of colour and form.
