Be one of the first to explore Munstead Wood, the former home of garden designer Gertrude Jekyll

Take a video tour of garden designer Gertrude Jekyll’s former home at Munstead Wood in Surrey, which isn’t open to visitors yet. Follow Head Gardener Annabell Watts along the winding paths to find out more about Jekyll’s vision. Munstead Wood was acquired by the National Trust in April 2023. Its garden was originally created by Gertrude Jekyll in the 1880s with vibrant flowers, intricate footpaths and Victorian greenhouses. The design of this garden was ahead of its time due to the meticulously chosen architectural plants and colour schemes. Jekyll also worked with architect Sir Edwin Lutyens to build a house that could also be her workplace. Designed to look as if it rose from the ground, the house was completed with a dark room, workshop and flower shop to support Jekyll’s work. The National Trust is restoring the Grade I-listed house and garden to reflect Jekyll’s original vision and make the property suitable for visitors. It’s thanks to your support that we’re able to look after places like this for everyone to enjoy for years to come.
