One thought on “Grand Gardens of the Berkshire Hills: Fletcher Steele’s Naumkeag, & Edith Wharton’s The Mount”
A comment from Tony Grant:
“Reminds me a little of Edwin Lutyens house designs. Very Edwardian. Lutyens worked with the garden designer, Gertrude Jekyll, who incidently, designed a few gardens in America. However, Jekyll’s gardens did not look formal like these. She believed in a naturalistic garden design based on the quintessential English Country garden. One of her planting techniques was to take a fist full of seeds from various varieties, turn her back on the flower bed and throw the seeds over her shoulder!!! ha! ha! My sort of gardening!!!!”
