| biography:
| Landscape gardener, born in Kirkharle, Northumberland, NE England, UK. He established a purely English style of garden lay-out, using simple artifices to produce natural effects, as in the laid-out gardens at Blenheim, Kew, Stowe, Warwick Castle, and others. He acquired his nickname from telling clients that their gardens had excellent ‘capabilities’. |
