Gertrude Jeykll was an arts and crafts garden designer. Friends with Edwin Lutyens, architect and owner of Lindisfarne Castle, she was asked to make a garden on Lindisfarne, Holy Island. She turned an existing walled vegetable garden into a flower garden in 1911 and it remains planted to her gardening principles.
