Maeve gave a wonderful demonstration entitled ‘Spring Miscellany’
Maeve entertained us with stories of strong women, artists and garden designers who were inspirational then and now.
Mary Delany (née Granville) (14 May 1700 – 15 April 1788) was an English artist, and letter-writer; equally famous for her “paper-mosaicks” and her lively correspondence.
Gertrude Jekyll 29 November 1843—8 December 1932) was an influential British horticulturist, garden designer, artist and writer. She created over 400 gardens in the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States, and wrote over 1,000 articles for magazines such as Country Life and William Robinson’s The Garden. Jekyll has been described as “a premier influence in garden design” by English and American gardening enthusiasts.
