Norah Lindsay

The writings of Gertrude Jekyll and the early champion of wild gardens William Robinson, she had no formal botanical training, but a highly developed 'garden sense' that was in part the inheritance of her class.

Nancy Lancaster, the founder of the firm carried on by Sibyl Colefax and John Fowler, employed her at Ditchley Park and Kelmarsh Hall, and at the dozens of other country-house gardens she worked on, from Port Lympne, Kent, to Chirk Castle in North Wales.

[3] Lindsay collaborated with Christopher Hussey in two Country Life articles that illustrated Sutton Courtenay in its final, mature phase.

She formed a bond with her mother's good friend Maj. Lawrence 'Johnny' Johnston, the creator of Hidcote, that was based upon their common interest in plant collecting.

A small commemorative fund was established after her death to enable women to accompany plant-hunting expeditions led from the University.
