Ms Norah Lindsay

I have just ordered this book,  after a garden history lecture on Monday.  Norah Lindsay was a garden designer from 1873-1948.  She sounded such a wonderful character who loved entertaining and lived life to the full.  She fell into designing after her marriage fell apart............ !! sounds all too familiar.
