A portrait of William Robinson FLS (1838-1935), an Irish gardener and journalist whose ideas about wild gardening led to the popularising of the English cottage garden; ideas similar to those of the British Arts and Crafts movement in the search for honest simplicity and vernacular style. He was champion of the "wild garden", which vanquished the Victorian bedding schemes. His new approach gained popularity through magazines and books, particularly The Wild Garden, illustrated by Alfred Parsons, and The English Flower Garden.

A portrait of William Robinson FLS (1838-1935), an Irish practical gardener and journalist whose ideas about wild gardening spurred the movement that led to the popularising of the English cottage garden. Ideas similar to those of the British Arts and Crafts movement in the search for honest simplicity and vernacular style. He was champion of the "wild garden", who vanquished the high Victorian pattern garden of planted-out bedding schemes. His new approach gained popularity through magazines and several books, particularly The Wild Garden, illustrated by Alfred Parsons, and The English Flower Garden.
