Yvonne has an interest is the Edwardian Period (1900 – 1914-18 War) and was commissioned by Shire Publications to write a book on ‘The Edwardian Home’ which was to include a chapter on the Garden. This led to more research on Edwardian Gardens and she now gives a series of talks about them. Yvonne’s Mother was a very keen gardener which Yvonne has inherited. Her Mother was also a member of Fagus.
