These were popular in Victorian gardens and this led to a boom in greenhouse construction. Some of the world’s biggest greenhouses were constructed at places such as Kew. In the 20th century, gardeners such as Gertrude Jekyll, Vita Sackville-West and Christopher Lloyd provided the inspiration for many English gardens today. Now, in the 21st century the self-sustaining philosophy of the new perennial garden has taken centre stage in many of the country’s showpiece gardens. Part 2 of 2.
