Invited to participate in the centennial of Gertrude Jekyll’s historic Hestercombe Gardens, we thought it only fitting that Blue Stick Garden should travel to its original source of inspiration. Jekyll’s work was seminal to the oeuvre of Elsie Reford, who created the Métis garden that spawned Blue Stick. Our installation was a landscape tribute to the formal garden created by Jekyll and architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, which is celebrated as one of the determining landscape works of the last century.
