This adult apron features a tile pattern from the marble pavement of the Duomo in Milan. It is contrasted with a floral and leafy spray design, which is reproduced and repeated. Made from organic cotton yarn that is kinder to the environment as it uses less water, reduces soil erosion and does not use hazardous manmade pesticides. It also benefits the farmers who can grow additional crops alongside the cotton and maintains the biodiversity of the soil. Gertrude Jekyll laid the basis for modern garden design and is credited with popularising an informal, naturalistic look in counterpoint to the rigid, formal landscapes of the Victorian era. She created some 400 gardens in the UK, and her influence on garden design persists to this day. The print was sourced directly from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Lindley Collections which houses the world's finest collection of books and printed materials on gardening and outstanding collections of archives, photography and botanical art.
