Welcome to a NEW SERIES - Gardening Greats

Reckless takes a look at some of the most influential garden designers in history. To start this new series, we've picked two of our favourites, Thomas H Mawson and Gertrude Jekyll.

Thomas H Mawson (1861-1933) - "One of the great landscape architects of his period." For further details please access here >> (Pictured left - Kearnsey Abbey, courtesy of Chris Mawson, Thomas Mawson's great grandson. For more information please access Chris' web site >>)
