Rosemary Verey was the last of the great English garden legends. Although she embraced gardening late in life, she quickly achieved international renown.

A child of a generation born between the two World Wars, she could have easily lived a predictable and comfortable life, devoted to her family, church, and horses, but a devastating accident changed her life, and with her architect-husband, she went on to create the gardens at their home that became a mandatory stop on every garden tour in the 1980s and 1990s.
