JEKYLL 20 | Describing Plants Your Way
Here are six flowers which Gertrude Jekyll loved to use in her garden designs. Can you write your own Jekyll-style sentence describing each of them? Think about colour, flower and petal shape, foliage texture and any other distinctive features you notice. Try to be creative with your language so your sentence is both descriptive and poetic. There are no points for this task, it’s just for fun!
