Gail's Garden was created using original artwork from The Ladybird Book archive which was unparalleled in its perfectly observed attention to detail. Taken from 'The Ladybird Book of Garden Flowers' published in 1960 the design was re-worked into a stunning fabric. Soon after opening on London's Regent Street in 1875, trading exotic goods and textiles from the Far East, Arthur Liberty began working with local artisans and manufacturers to produce Liberty's own textiles and objets d'art. By the 1890s Liberty Art Fabrics were a byword for the very best of Avant Garde textile design.
