Synopsis
Since the 1988 publication of their first book on Edna Walling’s work, Garden in Time, Trisha Dixon and Jennie Churchill have maintained their strong interest in her life and career, leading to the discovery of many unpublished, original Walling plans – some treasured, many tucked into forgotten dusty corners, others thought lost forever.
Edna Walling excelled as an artist, translating her design concepts into superb watercolor plans which exquisitely convey the ambience of the finished gardens she intended to create, as well as providing valuable insight into her design principles.
The Vision of Edna Walling contains over 50 of these beautiful and evocative watercolors. Unique works of art, the plans trace Walling’s long and productive career and provide a lasting legacy of her extraordinary talent.
Edna Walling’s consummate skill lay in the creation of gardens of intelligent design – yet they were also romantic gardens and peaceful retreats for their owners. In her own words: ‘There should be intellectual enjoyment as well as emotional pleasure in the contemplation of our gardens, and this will only come with good but simple design.’
As Australia’s most significant landscape designer, Walling’s garden designs and publications remain influential; motivating, delighting and educating the Australian gardening public as much today as when they were first produced.
