From 1881, when she laid out the gardens for Munstead House, built for her mother by [[John James Stevenson]], Jekyll provided designs or planned planting for some four hundred gardens. More than half were directly commissioned, but many were created in collaboration with architects such as Lutyens and [[Robert Lorimer]].<ref name=dnb/> Most of her gardens are lost. A small number have been restored, including her own garden at [[Munstead Wood]], the gardens of [[Hestercombe House]] and The Croft in [[Brook, Surrey]], and those of [[Woolverstone#Listed buildings|Woolverstone House]] and the Manor House in [[Upton Grey]] that she designed for the magazine editor [[Charles Holme]].<ref name=dnb/><ref name=mass>Betty Massingham (2006 [1975]).
