A great delight? The garden at Elizabeth Gaskell’s House

Jackie Tucker, is a member of the garden team at Elizabeth Gaskell’s House and a member of the Research Group.

Jackie explains how the practical work in the garden goes hand-in-hand with research.  She describes the restoration of the garden and examines the principles, which underpin it. She sets the Gaskells’ garden in its historical context and explores what it meant to William, Elizabeth and their daughters, using the words of Elizabeth Gaskell and other writers.
