Catalogue Note
The elder daughter of the 11th Duke of Devonshire, Emma Tennant’s love of gardening was born of visits to the garden and greenhouses at Chatsworth, where from the age of 5 she tended the radishes and marigolds. Largely self-taught, she draws inspiration from the delicate watercolours of Elizabeth Blackadder, and exhibits regularly, nationally and internationally.
