The National Trust has acquired the home and gardens of pioneering horticulturist Gertrude Jekyll, “in order to secure it for public enjoyment and benefit”. The Grade I listed property, Munstead Wood, located in Godalming, Surrey, is one of the earlier designs of Sir Edwin Lutyens, who was a relatively unknown architect when Jekyll enlisted him to design the property in 1896. The house has been in private hands since Jekyll’s death in 1932, yet the gardens and the house have remained remarkably unchanged. Jekyll’s practical workroom, the pottery cellar, and a ‘shop’ area where she sold cut flowers have been beautifully preserved.

What you won’t find in these curated picnic pics are styrofoam cups, paper plates, and plastic utensils—and while a big part of that comes from the desire to create a pretty photo op, sustainability also plays a role.
